New Accounting Pronouncements

Standards Adopted During Fiscal 2025

On October 1, 2024, Adient adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures which requires additional disclosures on significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss (collectively referred to as the “significant expense principle”). The ASU also requires additional disclosures of an amount for other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition. The new guidance is applied retrospectively in Adient's fiscal 2025 annual filing on Form 10-K and in subsequent quarterly filings on Form 10-Q. The adoption of this guidance has resulted in incremental segment information disclosures within the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements but did not have an impact on Adient’s financial position and results of operations. Refer to Note 17, “Segment Information” of the notes to consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Standards Effective After Fiscal 2025

Adient has considered the new standards that are summarized below, each to be effective after fiscal 2025, which are not expected to significantly impact the consolidated financial statements:

Standard to be AdoptedDescriptionDate Effective
ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax DisclosuresThe ASU requires disclosure of additional details about the reporting entity's reconciliation of the effective tax rate to the statutory rate for federal, state, and foreign income taxes. The ASU also requires further disaggregation of income tax amounts paid by federal, state and foreign, as well as by material jurisdiction.October 1, 2025
ASU 2025-05 Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts
Receivable and Contract Assets (Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326)
The ASU provides a practical expedient and an accounting policy election under which conditions at the period-end date can be assumed to remain unchanged for an asset’s remaining life when estimating credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions under ASC 606 Revenue from contracts with customers. The update is expected to simplify the credit loss assessment when applying Topic 326.October 1, 2026
ASU 2024-03 Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive
Income - Expense: Disaggregation Disclosures
(Subtopic 220-40)
The ASU requires disclosures of specified information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to financial statements at each interim and annual reporting period, including: the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. It also requires disclosures of the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. October 1, 2027
ASU 2025-06 Intangibles - Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use SoftwareThe ASU amends the timing for capitalizing eligible internal use software costs. Under the new guidance, an entity is required to start capitalizing software costs when both of the following occur: 1) Management has authorized and committed to funding the software project. 2) It is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended (referred to as the “probable-to-complete recognition threshold”). The ASU does not change the types of costs eligible for capitalization or the associated amortization and impairment guidance.October 1, 2028

About New Standards Disclosures

New accounting standards disclosures describe recently adopted pronouncements and those not yet effective, along with management's assessment of their expected impact. This section provides an early warning system for upcoming changes to how a company reports its financial results, often years before the new rules take effect.

Key signals: when management describes a not-yet-adopted standard's impact as "material" or "still being evaluated," it signals potential significant changes to reported metrics upon adoption. Watch for standards that affect a company's core operations — for example, revenue recognition changes for software companies or lease accounting changes for retailers with large store footprints. The transition method chosen (full retrospective versus modified retrospective) affects comparability with prior periods. Companies that delay adoption to the latest permitted date may be struggling with implementation complexity. Compare the disclosed impact assessments against peers in the same industry to gauge whether management's expectations are reasonable.
