Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Income Taxes
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, detail out reconciling items that are equal to or greater than 5% of income from continuing operations before income tax expense multiplied by the applicable statutory income tax rate, and break out income taxes by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the guidance on a retrospective basis for the year ended December 31, 2025. The adoption did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
Segment Reporting
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to apply the disclosure requirements in ASU 2023-07, as well as all existing segment disclosures and reconciliation requirements in ASC 280 on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2023-07 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the standard for the year ended December 31, 2024. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and disclosures.
Current Expected Credit Losses
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"). The new accounting standard introduced the current expected credit losses methodology ("CECL") for estimating allowances for credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized costs, including loans and trade receivables. ASU 2016-13 was effective for the Company, as an EGC, for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets in scope.
As a part of the adoption, the Company selected to apply roll-rate method to estimate current expected credit losses for its accounts receivable population and weighted average remaining maturity ("WARM") method for supplier advances.
The difference of $1,070 between the incurred credit loss estimate and current expected credit loss estimate was recorded as cumulative effect adjustment to the Company’s opening retained earnings and reflected on the consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2023 as a result of the ASC 326 adoption. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, or consolidated statements of cash flows. The following table illustrates the impact of ASC 326.
| As of January 1, 2023 | |||||||||||||||||

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025‑11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow‑Scope Improvements. The amendments clarify the applicability, content, and disclosure requirements for interim financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The objective of ASU 2025‑11 is to improve the clarity and navigability of Topic 270 by consolidating existing interim reporting guidance, specifying required disclosures,
and establishing a principle that entities disclose events and changes occurring after the most recent annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. ASU 2025‑11 is effective for interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact on the Company’s interim reporting and 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 ("ASU 2025-06"). ASU 2025-06 removes the existing project stage model and introduces new capitalization criteria based on management authorization and the probability of project completion. It also clarifies the treatment of software development uncertainty and incorporates guidance on website development costs. ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-06 on its consolidated financial statements.
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 (“ASU 2025-05”). ASU 2025-05 introduces a practical expedient that allows entities to estimate expected credit losses for current trade receivables and contract assets (within the scope of ASC 606) based on the assumption that current economic conditions will persist over the asset’s remaining life. The expedient applies only to receivables and contract assets that are expected to be collected within one year (or the operating cycle, if longer) and is intended to reduce complexity in applying the credit loss model under Topic 326. The standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments must be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-05 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
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 requires expenses in the consolidated statement of operations to be disaggregated into functional categories and separate significant individual expense items that are material to the understanding of the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03.Historical Timeline

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.
