In December 2023, the FASB issued , Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. ASU 2023-09 enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax
disclosures, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. We adopted ASU 2023-09 on a retrospective basis for all periods presented. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 had no impact to our consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), or consolidated statements of cash flows, as ASU 2023-09 affects disclosures only. Refer to Note 18, Income Taxes for the related disclosures required by ASU 2023-09.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (DISE). This new guidance requires all public entities to incorporate disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. Public entities must adopt ASU 2024-03 prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2024-03 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the year ended December 31, 2025 had or is expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

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.
