RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

Recently adopted pronouncements

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 requires disaggregated information about a company’s effective tax rate reconciliation and information on income taxes paid. The standard is effective for Beam beginning with our annual financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. We adopted this ASU prospectively on January 1, 2025. See Note 14. Income Taxes

 

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses" ("ASU 2025-05"), to introduce a practical expedient for all entities, which simplifies the calculation required for estimating credit losses and assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset.  ASU 2025-05 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods; however, early adoption is permitted.   ASU 2025-25 allows for adoption using a prospective method.  The Company early adopted this standard as of January 1, 2025.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. 

 

Recent pronouncement not yet adopted

 

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements” (“ASU 2023-06”), which amends the disclosure or presentation requirements related to various subtopics in the FASB Accounting Standard Codification (the “Codification”). The ASU was issued in response to the SEC’s disclosure update and signification initiative issued in August 2018. The effective date for the amendments for each topic will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoptions prohibited.

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Topic 220): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses." This guidance requires additional disclosure of certain amounts included in the expense captions presented on the Statement of Operations as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis, with the option for retrospective application, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. 

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, "Debt with Conversion and Other Options" (“ASU 2024-04”), which clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. ASU 2024-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities that have adopted the amendments in Update 2020-06. Adoption can be on a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the disclosure impact that ASU 2024-04 may have on its financial statement presentation and disclosures. 

 

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270), Narrow-Scope Improvements, to provide clarity about the current requirements, rather than evaluate whether to expand or reduce interim disclosure requirements. The amendments in ASU 2025-11 result in a comprehensive list of interim disclosures that are required by GAAP. The amendments in ASU 2025-11 also include a disclosure principle that requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The amendments in ASU 2025-11 are effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and early adoption is permitted. The amendments in ASU 2025-11 can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the disclosure impact that ASU 2025-11 may have on its financial statement presentation and disclosures. 

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.
