Newly Adopted Accounting Standard
Income Taxes. In December 2023, Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09 was issued, which requires public entities to disclose more information primarily related to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The guidance also eliminates certain existing disclosure requirements related to uncertain tax positions and unrecognized deferred tax liabilities. The Company adopted this ASU in the current year, and applied the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. The adoption of this ASU impacted the Company’s disclosures in Note 7. “Income Taxes,” with no impacts to its consolidated results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Implemented
Expense Disaggregation. In November 2024, ASU 2024-03 was issued, which requires public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The Company is required to adopt the amendments for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The amendments should be applied prospectively, with a retrospective option. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects this ASU to only impact its disclosures with no impacts to its consolidated results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt. In November 2024, ASU 2024-04 was issued, which clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. The amendments in this ASU affect entities that settle convertible debt instruments for which the conversion privileges were changed to induce conversion. The Company is required to adopt the amendments for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025 and interim reporting periods within those periods. The amendments should be applied prospectively, with a retrospective option. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will apply this guidance upon its adoption, as applicable.
Government Grants. In December 2025, ASU 2025-10 was issued, which establishes guidance on the recognition, measurement and presentation of a government grant received by a business entity. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) did not provide such guidance, and many business entities have been analogizing to International Accounting Standard (IAS) 20 or other guidance when accounting for government grants. The Company is required to adopt the amendments for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2028 and interim reporting periods within those periods. The amendments can be applied using a modified retrospective or retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will apply this guidance upon its adoption, as applicable.
