Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU requires the following disclosures on an annual basis:

•
A tabular rate reconciliation using both percentages and amounts, broken out into specific categories with certain reconciling items at or above 5% of the statutory tax further broken out by nature and/or jurisdiction;
•
Qualitative disclosure of the nature and effect of significant reconciling items by specific categories and individual jurisdictions; and
•
Income taxes paid (net of refunds received), broken out between federal, state/local and foreign, and amounts paid to an individual jurisdiction when 5% or more of the total income taxes paid.

The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2025, using the retrospective transition method. The adoption resulted in the restatement of comparative periods to reflect the new disclosure requirements. This ASU had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Refer to Note 8 for the related income tax disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting. This ASU requires the following disclosures on an annual and interim basis:

•
Significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included with each reported measure of segment profit/loss;
•
Other segment items by reportable segment, consisting of differences between segment revenue and segment profit/loss not already disclosed above;
•
Other information by reportable segment, including total assets, depreciation and amortization, and capital expenditures; and
•
The title of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of segment profit/loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources.

The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and should be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company adopted the ASU for the year ended December 31, 2024. This ASU had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Refer to Note 17 for the related segment disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which was further clarified in January 2025 through the issuance of ASU 2025-01. These ASUs require new financial statement disclosures to provide disaggregated information for certain types of expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization in commonly presented expense captions such as cost of goods and services and selling, general, and administrative expenses. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance will have no impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations. The Company is currently evaluating the impact to the related disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which modernizes the accounting for internal-use software costs

by removing all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages. The new standard requires entities to consider whether significant development uncertainty has been resolved before starting to capitalize software costs and aligns disclosure requirements with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. The ASU is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and can be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or using a modified transition method, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of this guidance on the consolidated financial statements and related 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.
