Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative (“ASU 2023-06”). This ASU incorporates certain SEC disclosure requirements into the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”). The amendments in the ASU are expected to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of Codification Topics, allow users to more easily compare entities subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) existing disclosures with those entities that were not previously subject to the requirements, and align the requirements in the Codification with the SEC’s regulations. ASU 2023-06 will become effective for each amendment on the effective date of the SEC's corresponding disclosure rule changes. As of December 31, 2024, the Company does not expect ASU 2023-06 will have any impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, and in January 2025, ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (subtopic 220-40), which requires disclosure, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The ASUs are effective on a prospective basis, with the option for retrospective application, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027.

The ASU replaces the existing stage-based model for capitalizing internal-use software development costs with a principles-based model that begins capitalization when management authorizes and commits to fund a project and it is probable the project will be completed and the software placed into service. The guidance also incorporates website development costs into the internal-use software framework and requires enhanced disclosures related to capitalized costs and amortization. ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans. The ASU expands the use of the gross up method to certain acquired loans beyond purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The ASU applies the gross-up method to acquired non-PCD assets that are purchased seasoned loans ultimately eliminating the Day 1 credit loss expense and reducing interest income recognized in subsequent periods. ASU 2025-08 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements ("ASU 2025-11"). This ASU improves the navigability of interim disclosure requirements, provides additional guidance on the disclosures required in interim reporting periods, and introduces a principle requiring entities to disclose events occurring since the end of the most recent annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. ASU 2025-11 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, Codification Improvements ("ASU 2025-12"). ASU 2025-12 addresses suggestions received from stakeholders regarding the ASC and makes other incremental improvements to U.S. GAAP. The update represents changes to the Codification that clarify, correct errors in or make other improvements to a variety of topics that are intended to make it easier to understand and apply. ASU 2025-12 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s financial statement 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.
