ACADIA REALTY TRUST New Standards Disclosure
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2023-05, “Business Combinations - Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement” (“ASU 2023-05”). ASU 2023-05 addresses the accounting for contributions made to a joint venture, upon formation, in a joint venture’s separate financial statements. Prior to the amendment, the FASB did not provide specific authoritative guidance on the initial measurement of assets and liabilities assumed by a joint venture upon its formation. ASU 2023-05 requires a joint venture to recognize and initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value (with exceptions to fair value measurement that are consistent with the business combinations guidance). ASU 2023-05 is effective for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically related to the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s income tax disclosures (Note 14).
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”) which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities (PBEs). Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. The ASU does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. This guidance applies to all PBEs and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company has elected not to early adopt and the requirements will be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. The Company is currently evaluating the expected impact of the adoption of ASU 2024-03 on disclosures within the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the
Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity” (“ASU 2025-03”), which clarifies that when a business that is a variable
interest entity (VIE) is acquired primarily with equity interests, the determination of the accounting acquirer should follow ASC 805 rather than defaulting to the primary beneficiary under ASC 810. ASU 2025-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including
interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has elected not to early adopt and the requirements will be applied prospectively with
the option for retrospective application. The Company is currently evaluating the expected impact of the adoption of ASU 2025-03 on the
consolidated financial statements.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements” (“ASU 2025-09”) that better aligns the hedge accounting model with risk management activities. ASU 2025-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has elected not to early adopt and the requirements will be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. The Company is currently evaluating the expected impact of the adoption of ASU 2025-09 on the consolidated financial statements.
Any other recently issued accounting standards or pronouncements not disclosed above have been excluded as they are not relevant to the Company, or they are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

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.
