CoastalSouth Bancshares, Inc. New Standards Disclosure
Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2025
In December 2025, the Company adopted ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This Update enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures for investors, lenders, creditors, and other allocators of capital (collectively, “investors”). These new enhancements are meant to better (1) understand an entity’s exposure to potential changes in jurisdictional tax legislation and the ensuing risks and opportunities, (2) assess income tax information that affects cash flow forecasts and capital allocation decisions, and (3) identify potential opportunities to increase future cash flows. For public business entities, these amendments were effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company has elected to apply the new amendments retrospectively. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. This Update is intended to improve the navigability of the guidance in ASC 270, Interim Reporting, and to clarify when it applies. Under the amendments, an entity is subject to ASC 270 if it provides “interim financial statements and notes in accordance with GAAP.” The Update also addresses the form and content of such financial statements, adds lists to ASC 270 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.” The amendments are not intended to “change the fundamental nature of interim reporting or expand or reduce current interim disclosure requirements.” These amendments apply to all entities that provide interim financial statements and notes in accordance with GAAP as per ASC 205-10-45-1A, regardless of whether those interim financial statements and notes are prepared (i) at the “same level of aggregation as the annual financial statements and notes” or (ii) as condensed statements. For public business entities, the amendments are effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 with early adoption permitted for all entities. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements. This Update amends certain aspects of the hedge accounting guidance in Topic 815. In addition to addressing stakeholder concerns, the amendments are intended to more closely align hedge accounting with the economics of an entity’s risk management activities. The purpose of the amendments is to better enable “entities to achieve and maintain hedge accounting for highly effective economic hedges” while reducing the occurrence of missed forecasted transactions and unintuitive hedge dedesignation events. For public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods therein. Entities are permitted to early adopt the new guidance in any interim or annual period after the Update’s issuance. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans. This Update expands the use of the gross-up method to certain acquired loans beyond purchased financial assets with credit deterioration ("PCD assets"). Under the gross-up method an allowance for credit losses is recognized at the acquisition date with an offsetting entry to the asset’s amortized cost basis. Specifically, this Update (i) applies the gross-up method to acquired non-PCD assets that are ‘purchased seasoned loans’ and provides criteria for determining whether acquired loans qualify as purchased seasoned loans; (ii) for purchased seasoned loans, eliminates the Day 1 credit loss expense and reduces interest income recognized in subsequent periods (because the gross-up method will now apply to those loans); (iii) keeps the guidance for PCD assets unchanged; and (iv) results in narrow subsequent measurement differences between purchased
seasoned loans and PCD assets. This Update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and is applied on a prospective basis with an early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
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. This Update modernizes the accounting for software costs that are accounted for under Subtopic 350-40, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (referred to as “internal-use software”). The Update changes the cost capitalization threshold by: (a) eliminating accounting consideration of software project development stages; cost capitalization would begin when (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the project and (ii) it is ‘probable’ the project will be completed and the software used to perform its intended function (the ‘probable-to-complete’ threshold); and (b) enhancing the guidance around the ‘probable-to-complete’ threshold. This Update also modifies the website development costs guidance by requiring entities to provide disclosures required under Subtopic 360-10 on property, plant & equipment to capitalized internal-use software and related amortization, regardless of how the internal-use software is classified on the balance sheet or how it was acquired. This Update is effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Company intends to adopt this Update on a prospective transition approach. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s 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. This ASU amends ASC 326-20 to provide a practical expedient (for all entities) and an accounting policy election (for all entities, other than public business entities, that elect the practical expedient) related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under ASC 606. Under ASU 2025-05, an entity is required to disclose whether it has elected to use the practical expedient and, if so, whether it has also applied the accounting policy election. An entity that makes the accounting policy election is required to disclose the date through which subsequent cash collections are evaluated. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted and should be applied prospectively. The Company expects to elect the use of practical expedient. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The Company has further evaluated other Accounting Standards Updates issued during 2025 but does not expect those Updates to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
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.
