Recently Issued  or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

We evaluate ASUs issued by the FASB. ASUs not included in our disclosures were assessed and determined to either be not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU requires that an entity disclose specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation as well as provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Further, the ASU requires certain disclosures of state versus federal income tax expense and taxes paid. The amendments in this ASU are required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 with early adoption permitted. We adopted ASU 2023-09 in the fourth quarter of 2025 and applied it prospectively, as disclosed in Note 15. Income Taxes.

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expense. The new guidance requires disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items on an annual and interim basis. This ASU is effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The new standard permits early adoption and can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. We are evaluating the effect that this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20); Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt. This ASU clarifies requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments, including convertible debt instruments with cash conversion features or convertible debt instruments that are not currently convertible, should be accounted for as an induced conversion. It is effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect that this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient for estimating expected credit losses on current trade receivables and contract assets arising from revenue transactions. This ASU is effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted, and must be applied prospectively. We are currently evaluating the effect that this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which provides updates to refine the scope of the guidance on derivatives in ASC 815 and clarify the guidance on share-based noncash payments from customers in ASC 606. The derivative scope refinement excludes non-exchange-traded contracts with derivative accounting apart from variables based on market rates, prices and indices, variables based on the price or performance of a financial asset or liability of one of the parties to a contract, contracts involving the issuer’s own equity evaluated under ASC 815-40 and call or put options on debt instruments. The amendments in ASU 2025-07 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods and should be applied either prospectively or on a modified retrospective basis. We are currently evaluating the effect of adopting ASU 2025-07 on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which clarifies interim disclosure requirements. The guidance is effective for the Company’s interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the effect that this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, Codification Improvements (ASU 2025-12), which addresses 33 issues, representing amendments to ASC topics that clarify, correct errors or make minor improvements. The amendments in ASU 2025-12 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted in both interim and annual periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. If an entity adopts the amendments in this ASU in an interim period, it must adopt them as of the beginning of the annual period that includes that interim period. An entity may elect to early adopt the amendments on an issue-by-issue basis. We are currently evaluating the effect of adopting ASU 2025-12 on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
