Adopted in Fiscal 2025
Income Tax Disclosure Improvement. ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), establishes new income tax disclosure requirements in addition to modifying and eliminating certain existing requirements. Under the new guidance, entities must consistently categorize and provide greater disaggregation of information in the income tax rate reconciliation and must disaggregate income taxes paid. The ASU’s disclosure requirements apply to all entities subject to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740. The overall objective of these disclosure requirements is for an entity, particularly an entity operating in multiple jurisdictions, to disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature and magnitude of factors contributing to the difference between the effective income tax rate and the statutory income tax rate. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 prospectively for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2026. See Note 7, Income Taxes, to the consolidated financial statements. Since this new ASU addresses only disclosures, its adoption did not have any effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Measurement Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The Company early adopted ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326); Measurement Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets” (“ASU 2025-05”), as of the beginning of its fiscal fourth quarter 2025. See the disclosures under the heading “Accounts Receivable and Allowance” presented earlier in this Note 1.
Adopted in Fiscal 2024
Segment Reporting Improvements. On November 27, 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). The FASB issued this new guidance primarily to provide financial statement users with more disaggregated expense information about a public business entity’s (“PBE”) reportable segment(s). This ASU requires PBEs to provide incremental disclosures related to the entity’s reportable segment(s), including disclosures for expenses that are both 1) significant to each reportable segment and are provided regularly to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) or easily computed from information regularly provided to the CODM and 2) included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss used by the CODM to assess performance and allocate resources. Under the provisions of this ASU, all of the disclosures required in the segment guidance, including disclosing a measure of segment profit or loss used by the CODM and reporting significant segment expenses, applies to all PBEs, including those with a single operating or reportable segment. However, this ASU did not change the definition of a segment, the method for determining segments, or any criteria for aggregating operating segments into reportable segments. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 at the beginning of fiscal 2024, however it became effective for the Company’s fiscal 2024 annual reporting period and for interim financial reporting periods at the beginning of fiscal 2025. As required, the Company’s annual disclosures for ASU 2023-07 are retrospectively presented for all annual comparative periods beginning in the notes to these annual consolidated financial statements. See Note 5, Segment Reporting, to the consolidated financial statements. Since this ASU addresses only disclosures, the adoption did not have any effects on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Recent Accounting Standards - Adoption Pending
Costs and Expenses Disclosures. On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which establishes new disaggregation disclosure requirements for certain costs and expenses in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Under the new guidance, entities must provide details of the components of its expense captions from continuing operations presented on the face of the statement of operations as well as a qualitative description of the amounts remaining that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. Relevant disclosure categories include purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization. An entity must also disclose the total amount of selling expenses, and in annual reports, its definition thereof. The disclosure of these costs and expenses will be required in addition to and irrespective of their inclusion in other disclosures. An entity is not precluded from providing additional voluntary disclosures that may provide investors with additional decision-useful information. ASU 2024-03 will be effective for the Company for the fiscal 2027 annual reporting period and for interim periods beginning in fiscal 2028, as clarified by ASU 2025-01. Since this new ASU addresses only disclosures, the Company does not expect its
adoption to have any material effects on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company is currently evaluating the new disclosures that will be required upon adoption of ASU 2024-03.
Accounting for and Disclosure of Software Costs. On September 18, 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Accounting for and Disclosure of Software Costs (“ASU 2025-06”) to clarify and modernize the accounting for costs related to internal-use software to better address both linear and non-linear development manners. The new guidance removes all references to project stages that are currently in ASC 350-40 and will instead use threshold requirements that entities must apply to decide when to start capitalizing software costs. Specifically, the guidance will require entities to begin capitalizing software costs, including website development costs, when both of the following occur: 1) management authorizes and commits to funding a software project and 2) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended (referred to as the “probable-to-complete” recognition threshold). ASU 2025-06 is effective for the Company beginning in interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal 2028, and early adoption is permitted which the Company is evaluating. Entities may apply the guidance using a prospective, retrospective, or modified transition approach. However, under the prospective approach, entities would still be required to apply the new guidance to all new costs incurred for all software projects, including in-process projects, as of the date of adoption. ASU 2025-06 also specifies that the disclosures under ASC 360-10 (Property, Plant, and Equipment) apply overall to capitalized software costs accounted for under ASC 350-40, regardless of how those costs are presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts that ASU 2025-06 may have on its financial position and results of operations, and such impacts may depend in part on the status and type of any in-process software projects at the time of adoption.
Interim Reporting. On December 8, 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow Scope Improvements (“ASU 2025-11”) to clarify the current interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of ASC 270, Interim Reporting. The ASU creates a comprehensive list of interim disclosures in ASC 270 that are required in interim financial statements and the accompanying notes under GAAP. It also incorporates a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose in interim periods events and changes that occur after the end of the most recent annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. ASU 2025-11 also clarifies that SEC registrants are required to refer to existing SEC guidance, such as Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X, since those rules provide form and content requirements for condensed financial statements (condensed statements). ASU 2025-11 will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after 2027, which will be first quarter of fiscal 2028 for the Company. Early adoption is permitted, and the guidance can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. Since ASU 2025-11 is disclosure-related only, its adoption is not expected to have an effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company is currently evaluating the disclosure guidance in ASU 2025-11 to determine if any new or amended disclosures will be required upon adoption.

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.
