The CECL model requires an entity to measure credit losses using historical information, current information and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future events, rather than the incurred loss impairment model required under current GAAP.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">For public business entities, this guidance will be applied using a modified retrospective approach and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those years. The Registrants are currently assessing the impact of adopting this guidance and will adopt this standard on January 1, 2020 with a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings at the date of adoption. Key implementation activities in process include finalizing the population of financial instruments within the scope of this guidance and identifying potential differences between the Registrants’ current credit loss models and the requirements of this guidance.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">Accounting for Implementation Costs in a Cloud Computing Service Arrangement</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In August 2018, the FASB issued accounting guidance that requires a customer in a cloud computing hosting arrangement that is a service contract to capitalize implementation costs consistent with internal-use software guidance for non-service arrangements. Prior guidance had not addressed these implementation costs. The guidance requires these capitalized implementation costs to be amortized over the term of the hosting arrangement to the statement of income line item where the service arrangement costs are recorded. The guidance also prescribes the financial statement classification of the capitalized implementation costs and cash flows associated with the arrangement. Additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures are also required.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">For public business entities, this guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. This standard must be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Registrants are currently assessing the impact of adopting this guidance and will adopt this standard prospectively as of the beginning of the period adopted, which will be January 1, 2020. Key implementation activities in process of being completed include assessing the population of cloud computing hosting arrangements in the scope of this guidance and identifying and evaluating industry issues.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">(PPL, LKE, LG&amp;E and KU)</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In January 2017, the FASB issued accounting guidance that simplifies the test for goodwill impairment by eliminating the second step of the quantitative test. The second step of the quantitative test requires a calculation of the implied fair value of goodwill, which is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill in a business combination. Under this new guidance, an entity will now compare the estimated fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value and recognize an impairment charge for the amount the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">For public business entities, this guidance will be applied prospectively and is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Registrants will adopt this guidance on January 1, 2020. The Registrants are currently assessing the impact of adopting this guidance.</span></div>
