Recent accounting pronouncements
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standard Updates (“ASUs”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). ASUs not listed below were assessed and either determined to be not applicable or expected to have minimal impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosure, which requires disclosure of disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation, using both percentages and reporting currency amounts for specific standardized categories, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance prospectively effective for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. Refer to Note 10 for the respective disclosures. The adoption has not had a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
On March 21, 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01, which clarifies how an entity determines whether a profits interest or similar award is within the scope of ASC 718 or not a share-based payment arrangement and therefore within the scope of other guidance. The Company adopted this guidance effective for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, which requires public business entities to disclose specific information about existing costs and expenses in the notes to its financial statements. This ASU is intended to provide users with useful information about expenses critical to understanding an entity's performance. This standard requires that a public business entity disclose key expenses including, but not limited to, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization, and associated qualitative disclosures
about the nature of expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update, but is not expected to have a material impact.

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.
