Impact of Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01 “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards” to clarify that certain “profits interests” are within the scope of Topic 718 by amending the language and providing illustrative examples on how the scope guidance in paragraph 718-10-15-3 should be applied. This update is intended to improve clarity of the accounting standards codification, not to change the guidance. This update is effective for Busey for annual and interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2025. Busey does not currently have any Profit Interest and Similar Awards, so adoption of this ASU did not have any impact on its financial position and results of operations.
In December 2023 the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” requiring all entities to disclose, on an annual basis, income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by jurisdiction. All entities must disclose the amount of income taxes paid to each individual jurisdiction in which income taxes paid (net of refunds) is equal to or exceeds 5% of total income taxes paid. Disclosure of comparative information by jurisdiction for all years presented is not required, a jurisdiction only needs to be disclosed in the periods where the 5% threshold is met. Public business entities are required to adopt ASU 2023-09 starting with the first year beginning after December 15, 2024; accordingly, Busey is subject to ASU 2023-09 starting in 2025. Busey reported Federal income tax payments of $16.8 million and income tax payments to all other jurisdictions of $4.1 million, net of related refunds, for total income tax payments of $20.9 million.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09 “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements” to expand the hedged risks permitted to be aggregated in a group of individual forecasted transactions, enabling entities to apply hedge accounting treatment to a broader portfolio of forecasted transactions. Under the amendments in this update, a group of individual forecasted transactions can be designated as a cash flow hedge if they have a similar risk exposure. Individual forecasted transactions are considered to have a similar risk exposure when the derivative used as the hedging instrument is highly effective against each hedged risk in the group. This update is to be applied on a prospective basis for all hedging relationships; there is an option to elect to adopt the amendments in this update for hedging relationships that exist as of the date of adoption. This update will be effective for Busey for annual and interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. Busey is currently evaluating the effect this ASU may have on its financial position and results of operations.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08 “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans” to expand the population of purchased loans subject to a “gross-up” accounting treatment, under which an ACL is recognized for the estimated credit losses at the acquisition date and the loan values are recorded at their estimated fair values plus a gross-up to offset the ACL. The gross-up accounting treatment prevents double recognition of an ACL through credit loss expense that was already considered in the fair value measurement of acquired loans. Under the guidance in this update, the gross-up accounting treatment applies to all non-PCD loans (excluding credit cards) acquired in a business combination and all non-PCD loans (excluding credit cards) that were purchased at least 90 days after origination and for which the purchaser was not involved in the loan origination. This update is to be applied prospectively, and will be effective for Busey for annual and interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. For future transactions, Busey will evaluate the effect this ASU may have on its financial position and results of operations.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07 “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract,” to reduce diversity in the application of derivative accounting practices. This update provides a scope limitation on the definition of a derivative subject to derivative accounting under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, to exclude certain non-exchange-traded contracts with contingencies based on operations or activities specific to one of the parties to the contract. In addition, this update clarifies that share-based noncash consideration from a customer that is contingent on the satisfaction of performance obligations should not be recognized at contract inception as a derivative asset or an equity security, but rather should be accounted for under the guidance in ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and that guidance in other topics does not apply to share-based noncash consideration from a customer for the transfer of goods or services unless or until the entity’s right to receive or retain the share-based noncash consideration is unconditional under ASC Topic 606. The amendments in this update may be applied on either a prospective or modified retrospective basis, and will be effective for Busey for annual and interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. Busey is currently evaluating the effect this ASU may have on its financial position and results of operations.
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,” changing the criteria for capitalizing software costs to the following: (1) a commitment has been made to fund the software project, and (2) it is probable the project will be competed and used to perform its intended function. Under this update, software development stages are no longer a consideration in the determination of which costs are capitalized. The amendments in this update may be adopted on a prospective, modified transition, or retrospective basis, and will be effective for Busey for annual and interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2028. Early adoption is permitted. Busey is currently evaluating the effect this ASU may have on its financial position and results of operations.
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,” providing a practical expedient which, if elected, permits an entity to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date will remain static for the remaining life of the assets, removing the requirement to consider reasonable, supportable forecasts. The amendments in this update are to be applied prospectively, and will be effective for Busey for annual and interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2026. Early adoption is permitted. Busey does not expect adoption of this ASU to have a material impact its financial position and results of operations.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04 “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments” to clarify when certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. The amendments in this update may be applied on either a prospective or retrospective basis and will be effective for Busey for annual and interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2026. Because Busey does not currently have any convertible debt, the Company does not expect adoption of this ASU to have any impact on its financial position or results of operations.
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” to require additional disclosures within the notes to the financial statements about certain expense items. Specifically, disaggregation of income statement captions that contain expenses within the following five categories is required: (1) purchases of inventory, (2) employee compensation, (3) depreciation, (4) intangible asset amortization, and (5) depreciation, depletion, and amortization (“DD&A”) costs recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities or other amounts of depletion expense. Further, this update requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses and the entity’s definition of selling expenses. This update provides a practical expedient for banks and bank holding companies to continue presenting salaries and employee benefits in conformity with SEC Rule 210.9-04 instead of requiring those entities to apply the employee compensation definition included in Subtopic 220-40. The amendments in this update may be applied on either a prospective or retrospective basis and will be effective for Busey beginning with the annual reporting period ending December 31, 2027, and interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2028. Early adoption is permitted. Because this update relates only to disclosure, Busey does not expect adoption of this ASU to have any impact on its financial position or results of operations.
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023‑06 “Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative” which aligns certain GAAP disclosure requirements with the SEC’s disclosure requirements, in order to better facilitate comparisons between entities that are subject to the SEC’s existing disclosures with entities that were not previously subject to the SEC’s requirements. Amendments in this update should be applied prospectively, and the effective date for Busey for each amendment in this ASU will be the date on which the SEC removes the related disclosure from Regulation S‑X or Regulation S‑K. Early adoption is prohibited. If the SEC has not removed the related disclosures from Regulation S‑X or Regulation S‑K by June 30, 2027, the pending content of this update will be removed from the ASC and will not become effective for any entity. Busey does not expect adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

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.
