Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted
On November 27, 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280),” which revises the disclosure requirements about a public entity’s reportable segments and a reportable segment’s expenses. This amendment requires a public entity to (i) disclose significant segment expense that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, (ii) disclose an amount for other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition and (iii) provide annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods. This amendment is required to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. We adopted ASU 2023-07 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which increased the amount of disclosures within Note 20 related to segment expenses.
On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740)," which requires additional annual disclosures regarding specific categories in the income tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. This amendment also requires annual disclosures regarding the amount of income taxes paid, including income taxes paid disaggregated by (i) federal, state and foreign taxes as well as (ii) individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid is equal to or greater than five percent of total income taxes paid. Additionally, this amendment requires annual disclosures for income from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign as well as income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between federal, state and foreign. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. We adopted ASU 2023-09 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, which increased the disclosures of certain tax amounts within Note 19
related to income taxes.
Not Yet Adopted
On November 5, 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)," which requires more detailed information about the types of expenses included in certain expense captions presented on the consolidated statements of operations, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and depletion. Additionally, this amendment requires the disclosure of a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively and the disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses and, on an annual basis, an entity's definition of selling expenses. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. This amendment should be applied either on a prospective basis or a retrospective basis to any or all prior periods presented. We are currently assessing the impact this pronouncement will have on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.
On September 18, 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)," to align the accounting for software costs with the evolution of software development, including the shift from using a prescriptive and sequential development method to using an incremental and iterative development method. This amendment clarifies that capitalization of internal-use software costs begins when (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. Additionally, this amendment supersedes the website development costs guidance and it clarifies certain disclosure requirements for internal-use software costs. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. This amendment should be applied either on a (i) prospective basis, (ii) retrospective basis to any or all prior periods presented, or (iii) modified transition basis that is based on the status of the project and whether software costs were capitalized before the date of adoption. We are currently assessing the impact this pronouncement will have on our consolidated financial statements and related 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.
