Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying interim financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates 
To conform with GAAP, we make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. Although these estimates and assumptions are based on our best available knowledge at the time, actual results may differ.
New Accounting Standards Issued and Adopted, and New Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted
New Accounting Standards Issued and Adopted
We adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), on January 1, 2019, utilizing the optional transition approach to apply the standard at the beginning of the first quarter of 2019 with no retrospective adjustment to prior periods. In addition, we elected the transition package of practical expedients upon adoption which, among other things, allowed us not to reassess the historical lease classification. For additional details, refer to Note 14, Leases.    
New Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted
ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326), establishes the current expected credit loss model, a new impairment model for certain financial instruments based on expected rather than incurred losses. This ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, as well as interim periods included therein. We continue to evaluate the provisions of this ASU. However, based on our preliminary analysis, we do not believe it will have a material impact on our financial statements.
