Note 18 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements Standards recently adopted
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in FASB ASC Topic No. 605 - Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Codification. The standard requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09 using the modified retrospective approach and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated balance sheets, statement of operations, and statements of cash flows. See Note 14 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers for further details.
Standards not yet adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU requires (a) an entity to separate the lease components from the non-lease components in a contract where the lease component will be accounted for under ASU 2016-02 and the non-lease component will be accounted for under ASU 2014-09, (b) recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees and derecognition of the leased asset and recognition of a net investment in the lease by the lessor and (c) additional disclosure requirements for both lessees and lessors. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, although early adoption is permitted. Under the updated accounting standard, we have determined that our drilling contracts contain a lease component. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11 which 1) provides for a new transition method whereby entities may elect to adopt the update using a prospective with cumulative catch-up approach and 2) provides lessors with an option to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease components when certain criteria are met and requires them to account for the combined component in accordance with the new revenue standard if the associated non-lease components are the predominant components. We adopted ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019 using modified retrospective transition method applied at the beginning of the period of adoption. We have elected certain available practical expedients. Our adoption, and the ultimate effect on our consolidated financial statements, will be based on an evaluation
of the contract-specific facts and circumstances, and such effect could introduce variability to the timing of our revenue recognition relative to current accounting standards. We are evaluating the requirements to determine the effect such requirements may have on our consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of cash flows and on the disclosures contained in our notes to the consolidated financial statements upon the adoption of ASU 2016-02. While, the Company continues to evaluate all of the effects of the adoption of this ASU, the Company believes the most significant effects relate to (i) the recognition of new right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet for the Company’s operating leases and (ii) providing significant new disclosures about the Company’s leasing activities. Depending on the results of the evaluation, our ultimate conclusions may vary. With respect to leases whereby we are the lessee, we expect to recognize lease liabilities and offsetting right of use assets of between $15 million and $25 million. However, we are still finalizing our evaluation of the overall impact.
