BARRETT BUSINESS SERVICES INC New Standards Disclosure

Recent accounting pronouncements

The following Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) have been recently issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB).

ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The ASU applies to all entities subject to income taxes. The new requirements are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We have adopted this ASU on a retrospective basis for the annual reporting period of our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2025, with no material effects on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“DISE”)

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, which requires disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to interim and annual financial statements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this ASU should be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date or (2) retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are evaluating the impact of this new accounting standard on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We do not expect that the adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, which amends the capitalization criteria of software development costs. The ASU eliminates the prior project-stage model and implements a probable-to-complete recognition threshold. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The amendments in this ASU should be applied using either a prospective transition approach, modified transition approach, or retrospective transition approach. We are evaluating the impact of this new accounting standard on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We do not expect that the adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
