| BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements present the consolidated financial position and operations of Jushi Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries and entities over which the Company has control, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). The accounts of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period using consistent accounting policies. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Going Concern and Liquidity
As reflected in these consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred a loss from operations of $220,333, including non-cash asset impairment charges of $159,645, and used net cash of $21,416 for operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2022, and as of that date, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $37,577. Since inception, management has focused on building a diverse portfolio of assets in attractive markets to vertically integrate its business. As such, the Company has incurred losses as it continues to expand. Management has put in place plans to increase the profitability of the business in fiscal year 2023 and beyond. In order to achieve profitable future operations, management begun to commercialize production from its recently expanded grower-processing facilities in Pennsylvania and Virginia, as well as implemented a cost-savings and efficiency optimization plan which includes, among others, reduction in labor and packaging costs as well as operating efficiencies at the Company’s retail and grower-processing facilities.
As a result of the above, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within the next twelve months from the date these financial statements are issued. Management intends to fund the Company’s operations, capital expenditures and debt service with existing cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash generated from operations and, as needed, future financing (equity and/or debt) as well as the potential sales of non-core assets. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon profitable future operations and positive cash flows from operations as well as future financing and/or sales of assets if necessary. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in this or any of its endeavors or become financially viable and continue as a going concern.
Additionally, the Acquisition Facility, as more further described in Note 12 - Debt, contains certain financial and other covenants with which the Company is required to comply. The required financial covenants related to minimum (i) unrestricted cash and cash equivalents balance requirement and (ii) minimum quarterly revenue requirement. Subsequent to year end December 31, 2022, on February 24, 2023 and February 27, 2023, the Company was non-compliant with an affirmative covenant relating to a minimum cash deposit requirement in a specified bank account. The Company also anticipated not being able to provide a certification to the lender in connection with its annual financial statements that the audit report did not contain a going concern qualification. The Company received waivers for these two instances on April 17, 2023.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future, and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Correction of Errors in Previously Issued Financial Statements
In November 2022, the Company identified an error in the appraised value of the business licenses acquired in connection with the acquisition of Nature’s Remedy in September 2021, which was used in the purchase price allocation (Refer to Note 7 - Acquisitions for additional information). The appraised value of the business licenses was determined with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm, which used an . The impact of the error was a $10,000 understatement of indefinite-lived intangible assets - license, a $7,092 overstatement of goodwill, and a $(2,908) understatement of income tax liabilities – non-current on the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company revised its consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 as summarized in the table below:
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Functional and Reporting Currency
The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries, as determined by management, is the U.S. dollar. The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar. These consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at a rate of exchange approximating the prevailing rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the statement of financial position date are translated into the functional currency at the foreign exchange rate in effect at that date. Realized and unrealized exchange gains and losses are recognized through profit and loss.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported. Estimates are used to account for certain items such as the valuation of
inventories, including stage of growth of cannabis plants, the likelihood the plants will grow to full maturity, and the estimated yields from harvest and conversion to finished goods; the assessment of business combinations and asset acquisitions and the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired; the fair value of purchase consideration and contingent consideration; the useful lives of definite lived intangible assets and property and equipment; share-based compensation, leases, income tax provision and uncertain tax positions, the collectability of receivables and other items requiring judgment. Estimates are based on historical information and other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved with estimates, actual results may differ materially.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
The Company considers cash deposits and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash deposits in financial institutions and cash held at retail locations. Cash and cash held in money market investments are carried at fair value. When the use of a cash balance is subject to regulatory or contractual restrictions and therefore not available for general use by the Company, the Company classifies the cash as restricted cash.
The Company maintains cash with various U.S. financial institutions with balances in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits. The failure of a financial institution where the Company has significant deposits could result in a loss of a portion of such cash balances in excess of the insured limit, which could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows:
Accounts Receivable and Expected Credit Losses
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Expected credit losses (or “allowance”) reflects the Company’s estimate of amounts in its existing accounts receivable that may not be collected due to customer claims or customer inability or unwillingness to pay. Collectability of accounts receivable is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Expected credit losses are determined based on a combination of factors, including the Company’s risk assessment regarding the specific exposures, credit worthiness of its customers, historical collection experience and length of time the receivables are past due. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when the Company believes it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. The Company’s charges to provision for credit losses and write-off of uncollectible receivables during each financial periods presented in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and its related allowance at each respective balance sheet date were not material given that a significant majority of the Company’s sales were collected in cash at the point of sale.
Inventories
Inventories are comprised of raw materials, work in process, finished goods and packaging materials. Inventories primarily consist of cannabis plants, dried cannabis, cannabis trim, and cannabis derivatives such as oils and edible products, and accessories. Inventories are initially recorded at cost and subsequently at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Costs incurred during the growing and production processes are capitalized as incurred, as adjusted for estimated normal capacity and expected yields when incurred. These costs include direct materials, labor and manufacturing
overhead used in the growing and production processes. Net realizable value is determined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs to complete and sell. Cost is primarily determined on an average cost basis. The Company also reviews inventory for obsolete and slow-moving goods and writes down inventory to net realizable value.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment (“PP&E”) are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation, and impairment losses, if applicable. Purchased property and equipment are initially recorded at cost, or, if acquired in a business combination, at the acquisition date fair value. Finance lease right-of-use assets are recognized at inception based on the present value of minimum future lease payments. Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the following periods:
Land has an unlimited useful life and is, therefore, not depreciated. An asset’s residual value, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed annually and adjusted prospectively if necessary.
Construction-in-process (“CIP”) represents assets under construction and is measured at cost, including borrowing costs incurred during the construction of qualifying assets. When construction on a property is complete and available for use, the cost of construction which has been included in CIP will be reclassified to buildings and improvements, leasehold improvements or furniture and fixtures, as appropriate, and depreciated.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Property and equipment, as well as right-of-use assets and definite lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. If circumstances require these long-lived assets to be tested for possible impairment and the Company’s analysis indicates that a possible impairment exists based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows, the Company is required to estimate the fair value of the asset.
An impairment charge is recorded for the excess of the asset’s or asset group’s carrying value over its fair value, if any. Asset groups have identifiable cash flows and are largely independent of other asset groups. The Company assesses the fair value of long-lived assets using commonly accepted techniques, and may use more than one method, including recent third-party comparable sales and discounted cash flow models. The Company’s impairment analyses require management to apply judgment in estimating future cash flows as well as asset fair values, and other assumptions.
Business Combinations
Acquisitions are assessed under ASC 805 Business Combinations, and judgement is required to determine whether a transaction qualifies as an asset acquisition or business combination. The Company includes in these financial statements the results of operations of the businesses acquired from the acquisition date. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from a business combination and are expensed as incurred.
The Company allocates the purchase price of the business combination to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. To the extent the fair value of the net assets acquired, including other identifiable assets, exceeds the purchase price, a bargain purchase gain is recognized in the statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Acquisitions of assets or a group of assets that do not meet the definition of a business are accounted for as asset acquisitions using the cost accumulation method, whereby the cost of the acquisition, including certain transaction costs, is allocated to the assets acquired on the basis of relative fair values. No goodwill is recognized in an asset acquisition.
Variable Interest Entities
The Company determines at the inception of each arrangement whether an entity in which the Company has made an investment or in which it has other variable interests is considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The Company consolidates VIEs when it is the primary beneficiary. The Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE when it has the power to direct activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE and has the obligation to absorb the majority of their losses or benefits. If the Company is not the primary beneficiary in a VIE, the VIE will be accounted for in accordance with other applicable accounting guidance. Periodically, the Company assesses whether any changes in the Company’s interest or relationship with the entity affect the determination of whether the entity is a VIE and, if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are recorded at cost, less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date. The estimated useful lives, residual values and amortization methods are reviewed annually, and any changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively. Finite lived intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.
Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Intangibles
In accordance with ASC 350 Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, the Company reviews goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles for impairment at the reporting unit level annually, or, when events or circumstances dictate, more frequently. At the time of a business combination, goodwill is either assigned to a specific reporting unit or allocated between reporting units based on the relative fair value of each reporting unit. The Company first performs a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more-likely-than-not that the reporting unit’s carrying value, which includes goodwill and intangibles, is less than its fair value, indicating a potential for impairment, and therefore requiring a quantitative assessment. If the Company determines that a quantitative impairment test is required, the Company typically uses a combination of an income approach, i.e., a discounted cash flow calculation, and a market approach, i.e., using a market multiple method, to determine the fair value of each reporting unit, and then compare the fair value to its carrying amount to determine the amount of impairment, if any. If a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount, the Company would record an impairment charge based on that difference, up to the amount of goodwill and intangibles allocated to that reporting unit.
The quantitative impairment test requires the application of a number of significant assumptions, including estimated revenue growth rates, profit margins, terminal value growth rates, market multiples, and discount rates. The projections of future cash flows used to assess the fair value of the reporting units are based on the internal operation plans reviewed by management. The market multiples are based on comparable public company multiples. The discount rates are based on the risk-free rate of interest and estimated risk premiums for the reporting units at the time the impairment analysis is prepared or such evaluation date.
The Company performs its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment tests on an annual basis.
Leases
In accordance with ASC 842 Leases, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. When a leasing arrangement is identified, a determination is made at inception as to whether the lease is an operating or a finance lease. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease (current and non-current) liabilities and finance lease ROU assets and finance lease (current and non-current) liabilities are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets and are expensed in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Right of use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset in which the Company obtains substantially all of the economic benefits and the right to direct the use of the asset during the lease term. Lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, using a discount rate equivalent to the Company’s incremental borrowing rate for a term similar to the estimated duration of the lease, as the rates implicit in the Company’s leases are not readily available. Payments that are not fixed at the commencement of the lease are considered variable and are excluded from the ROU asset and lease liability calculations. For finance leases, interest expense on lease liabilities is recognized using the effective interest method, and amortization of the related ROU asset is on a straight-line basis. Refer to Property, Plant and Equipment above for the useful lives of finance lease ROU assets. Operating lease cost, which includes the interest on the lease liability and amortization of the related ROU asset, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Topic 842 requires lessees to discount lease payments using the rate implicit in the lease if that rate is readily available in accordance with Topic 842. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee is required to use its incremental borrowing rate. The Company generally uses the incremental borrowing rate when initially recording leases. Information from the lessor regarding the fair value of underlying assets and initial direct costs incurred by the lessor related to the leased assets is not available. The Company determines the incremental borrowing rate as the interest rate the Company would pay to borrow over a similar term the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. Topic 842 requires lessees to estimate the lease term. In determining the period which the Company has the right to use an underlying asset, management considers the non-cancellable period along with all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option.
Segment
The Company operates a vertically integrated cannabis business in one reportable segment for the cultivation, manufacturing, distribution and sale of cannabis in the U.S. All of the Company’s revenues were generated within the U.S., and substantially all long-lived assets are located within the U.S.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 requires revenue to be recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive. Application of ASC 606 requires a five-step model applicable to all product offering revenue streams as follows: (1) Identify a customer along with a corresponding contract; (2) Identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract to transfer goods or provide distinct services to a customer; (3) Determine the transaction price the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer; (4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (5) Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies the performance obligation(s).
Contract assets, as defined in ASC 606, include amounts that represent the right to receive payment for goods and services that have been transferred to the customer with rights conditional upon something other than the passage of time. Contract liabilities are defined in the standard to include amounts that reflect obligations to provide goods and services for which payment has been received. The Company has no contract assets or unsatisfied performance obligations as of each balance sheet date presented in its consolidated balance sheets.
The Company’s contracts with customers for the sale of dried cannabis, cannabis oil and other cannabis related products may consist of multiple performance obligations. Revenue from the direct sale of cannabis to customers for a fixed price is recognized when the Company transfers control of the goods to the customer at the point of sale and the customer has paid for the goods. Payment is typically due upon transferring the goods to the customer or within a specified time period permitted under the Company’s credit policy. Revenue is measured based on the amount of consideration that the Company can expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services, reduced by promotional discounts and estimates for return allowances and refunds. Taxes collected from customers for remittance to governmental authorities are excluded from revenue.
For some of its locations, the Company offers a loyalty reward program to its dispensary customers. A portion of the revenue generated in a sale is allocated to the loyalty points earned. The Company records a reduction in revenue and a liability based on the estimated probability of the point obligation incurred, calculated based on a standalone selling price of each point. Loyalty reward credits issued as part of a sales transaction results in revenue being deferred until the loyalty reward is redeemed by the customer. Loyalty points expire six months from award date and the Company expects outstanding loyalty points to be redeemed within six months.
Costs of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold includes the costs directly attributable to revenue recognition and includes compensation and fees for services, travel and other expenses for services and costs of products and equipment.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses represent costs incurred at the Company’s corporate and administrative offices, primarily related to: compensation expenses, including share-based compensation; depreciation and amortization; professional fees and legal expenses; marketing, advertising and selling costs; facility-related expenses, including rent and security; insurance; software and technology expenses; impairments; and acquisition and deal costs. Advertising and promotion costs are included as a component of operating expenses and are expensed as incurred.
Share-Based Payment Arrangements
The Company accounts for equity-settled share-based payments in accordance with ASC 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation, which requires the Company to recognize share-based compensation expenses related to grants of stock options, restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and compensatory warrants to employees and non-employees based on the fair value of the share-based payments over the vesting period with a corresponding offsetting amount to paid-in capital within equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. If vesting periods or other vesting conditions apply, the expense is allocated over the vesting period. No adjustment is made to any expense recognized in prior periods if vested stock options or warrant awards expire without being exercised. For share-based payments made prior to 2023, the Company recorded the share-based compensation expenses using the graded vesting basis and are included in selling, general and administrative operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
The fair value of stock options and compensatory warrants is estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which requires assumptions for expected volatility, expected dividends, the risk-free interest rate and the expected term. The
Company accounts for forfeitures of share-based grants as they occur. If any of the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model or the anticipated number of shares to be vested change significantly, share-based compensation expense may differ materially in the future from that recorded in the current period. The fair value of RSAs is estimated based on the Company’s stock on grant date.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense is the total of the current period income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
As the Company operates in the legal cannabis industry, the Company is subject to the limits of Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 280E for U.S. federal income tax purposes as well as state income tax purposes for all states except for California and Colorado. Starting with the 2022 tax year, Massachusetts and New York also decoupled from IRC Section 280E. Under IRC Section 280E, the Company is only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to sales of product, i.e. the cost of producing the products or cost of production. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under IRC Section 280E.
In accordance with ASC 740 Income Taxes, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is more likely than not that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon examination. For tax positions not meeting the more likely than not test, no tax benefit is recorded.
The Company is treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes under IRC Section 7874 and is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its worldwide income. However, for Canadian tax purposes, the Company, regardless of any application of IRC Section 7874, is treated as a Canadian resident company (as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)) for Canadian income tax purposes. As a result, the Corporation is subject to taxation both in Canada and the U.S.
Earnings or Loss per Share
Basic earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing the net income or loss attributable to Jushi shareholders by the basic weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing the net income or loss attributable to Jushi shareholders by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, and the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the Company’s outstanding potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include stock options, warrants, unvested restricted stock, convertible promissory notes, and vested restricted stock issued to employees for which a corresponding non-recourse promissory note receivable with the employee is outstanding until the notes are repaid. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted earnings or loss per share by application of the treasury stock method, except if its impact is anti-dilutive. Under the treasury stock method, an increase in the fair market value of the Company’s common stock can result in a greater dilutive effect from potentially dilutive securities.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities that are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers all related factors of the asset by market participants in which the Company would transact and the
market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and credit risk.
The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels, and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement: (i) Level 1 – Observable inputs such as unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date; (ii) Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by the observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; (iii) Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Refer to Note 23 - Financial Instruments.
COVID-19
In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized COVID-19 as a global pandemic. COVID-19 continues to spread throughout the U.S. and other countries across the world, and the duration and severity of its effects are currently unknown. At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company implemented procedures at all operating locations to better protect the health and safety of its employees, medical patients, and customers across its network of dispensaries at the onset of the COVID-19 outbreak, and the Company continues to implement and evaluate actions to strengthen its financial position and support the continuity of its business and operations.
To date, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations have not been materially impacted by COVID-19. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company’s future results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with certainty, including possible future outbreaks of new strains of the virus and governmental and consumer responses to such future developments.
Emerging Growth Company
As an emerging growth company (“EGC”), the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) allows the Company to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are applicable to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period under the JOBS Act until such time the Company is no longer considered to be an EGC. The adoption dates discussed in Recent Accounting Pronouncements reflect this election.
Reclassification of prior year presentation
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. Adjustments have been made to: (i) the consolidated statements of cash flows to reclassify the presentation of uncertain tax position from change in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current current liabilities to deferred income taxes and uncertain tax positions of $26,823 and $11,857 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and (ii) the consolidated balance sheets to reclassify the presentation of certain other non-current liabilities from Debt, net - current portion to Other liabilities - non current of $3,173 as of December 31, 2021. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported net cash flows used in operating activities included in the consolidated statements of cash flows, or total non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill
Impairment (ASU 2017-04). The FASB issued guidance eliminates the performance of Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In performing its annual or interim impairment testing, an entity will instead compare the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognize any impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax-deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 with early adoption permitted, as amended by ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842) and ASU 2021-03, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350).
The Company early adopted ASU 2017-04 in 2022. See Note 8 - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets for additional information.
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. The FASB issued guidance to clarify and reduce diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The adoption of this standard in 2022 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted
In June 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06 Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. This ASU also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2023, although early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The FASB issued guidance requires that an entity (acquirer) recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. At the acquisition date, an acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts in accordance with Topic 606 as if it had originated the contracts. To achieve this, an acquirer may assess how the acquiree applied Topic 606 to determine what to record for the acquired revenue contracts. Generally, this should result in an acquirer recognizing and measuring the acquired contract assets and contract liabilities consistent with how they were recognized and measured in the acquiree’s financial statements (if the acquiree prepared financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles). The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2023, although early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. The FASB issued guidance clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments also clarify that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2023, although early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-01, Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements. The FASB issued guidance clarifies the accounting for leasehold improvements associated with common control leases, by requiring that leasehold improvements associated with common control leases be amortized by the lessee over the useful life of the leasehold improvements to the common control group (regardless of the lease term) as long as the lessee controls the use of the underlying asset through a lease. Additionally, leasehold improvements associated with common control leases should be accounted for as a transfer between entities under common control through an adjustment to equity if, and when, the lessee no longer controls the use of the underlying asset. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
