Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires that public business entities, on an annual basis, (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than five percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income (or loss) by the applicable statutory income tax rate). The amendments also require that all entities disclose, on an annual basis, disaggregated information regarding income taxes paid and income tax expense. The Company adopted this standard for its annual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and applied the guidance retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. This standard only expanded the Company’s disclosures with no impact to results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition. See Note 13 - Income Taxes.
On November 27, 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, enhances interim disclosure requirements, clarifies circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provides new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and requires certain disclosures related to the chief operating decision maker. The Company adopted this standard for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and its interim periods beginning in the first quarter of 2025, and applied the guidance retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. This standard only expanded the Company's disclosures with no impact to results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition. See Note 17 - Segment Data.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On December 8, 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. The amendments are intended to improve the navigability of the interim reporting guidance in ASC 270 and clarify when it applies. The guidance addresses the form and content of financial statements, adds lists of the interim disclosures required by all other Codification topics, and establishes a principle under which an entity must disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. This guidance is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update can be applied either (1) prospectively or (2) retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company expects to adopt this standard for its first quarter ending March 31, 2028. The Company expects this ASU to expand its disclosures with no impact to results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.
On September 18, 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other— Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The amendments remove all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages (referred to as “project stages”) throughout Subtopic 350-40. Therefore, an entity is required to start capitalizing software costs when both of the following occur: (1) management has authorized and committed to funding the 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”). This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The amendments in this update permit an entity to apply the new guidance using any of the following transition approaches: (1) a prospective transition approach; (2) a modified transition approach that is based on the status of the project and whether software costs were capitalized before the date of adoption; or (3) a retrospective transition approach. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the potential impact the adoption of this standard may have and expects to adopt this standard in its first quarter of 2028.
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, which is intended to improve decision usefulness of business entities’ income statements through the disaggregation of certain expense captions, such as employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization, with required disclosure in a single note to the financial statements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this update, or (2) retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company expects to adopt this standard for its annual report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2027. The Company expects this ASU to only impact its disclosures with no impacts to results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.

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.
