Accounting Changes
New Accounting Principles Adopted
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new accounting standard update that requires more disaggregated expense information about a public entity’s reportable segments on an annual and interim basis. This standard became effective for the Company, on a retrospective basis, for its fiscal year 2025 reporting and for interim periods beginning in its fiscal year 2026. Disclosures regarding the Company’s reportable segments are provided in Note 8.
In September 2022, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that requires additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures regarding supplier finance programs. The new disclosure requirements are intended to help investors better consider the effect of these programs on a company’s working capital, liquidity, and cash flows. The Company adopted this accounting standard on October 1, 2023. Disclosures regarding the Company’s supplier finance programs are provided in Note 15.
New Accounting Principles Not Yet Adopted
In September 2025, the FASB issued an accounting standard update to amend the criteria for capitalizing internal-use software costs. This update is intended to modernize the accounting for software costs by replacing the legacy guidance under which capitalization is based on the nature of costs and the project development stage. This update requires software capitalization to begin when (1) management has authorized and committed funding to the software project and (2) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The update is effective for the Company beginning in its fiscal year 2029, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that requires the Company to disclose more detailed information about the types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion) included in each relevant income statement expense caption. The update is effective for the Company beginning with its fiscal year 2028 reporting and for interim reporting beginning with its fiscal year 2029. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this update will have on its disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that requires more disaggregated information to be included in the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid annual disclosures. This update is effective for the Company beginning in its fiscal year 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this update will have on its 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.
