Other Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Scope Improvements for Interim Reporting
In December 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an ASU mainly to improve the navigability of and provide additional guidance and clarifications on the required disclosures for interim reporting. The update is effective for interim financial statements beginning with interim periods in fiscal year 2028. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the update to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software
In September 2025, the FASB issued an ASU to modernize the accounting for software costs accounted for under ASC 350-40, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software. The update is effective for annual and interim financial statements beginning with the fiscal year 2028. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the update to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets
In July 2025, the FASB issued an ASU to simplify the application of the current expected credit loss model for current accounts receivable and current contract assets under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The update provides a practical expedient when estimating expected credit losses that assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. The update is effective for annual and interim financial statements beginning with the fiscal year 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the update to the Consolidated Financial Statements, including the election of the practical expedient.

Expense Disaggregation Disclosures
In November 2024, the FASB issued an ASU that requires the Company to disclose additional information about certain expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The update is effective for annual financial statements beginning with the fiscal year 2027 and interim financial statements in the fiscal year 2028 onwards. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the update to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

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.
