First American Financial Corp New Standards Disclosure

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updated guidance intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The updated guidance requires disclosure of specific categories and greater disaggregation of information included in the rate reconciliation and additional disclosures related to income taxes paid. Except for the disclosure requirements, the adoption of this guidance, effective January 1, 2025, had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In August 2023, the FASB issued updated guidance intended to provide decision-useful information to investors and reduce diversity in practice in accounting for contributions made to a joint venture, upon formation, in a joint venture’s separate financial statements. The updated guidance requires joint ventures to recognize and initially measure their assets and liabilities at fair value with certain exceptions to fair value measurement consistent with business combination guidance. The updated guidance, which was adopted on January 1, 2025, had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Pending Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2025, the FASB issued updated guidance intended to modernize the accounting for internal-use software costs. The updated guidance better aligns the accounting with how software is currently developed by making the guidance more relevant for agile and iterative development methods. Under the updated guidance, an entity is required to begin capitalizing software costs when management has authorized and committed to funding a software project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted, and can be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or through a modified prospective method in the Company's financial statements. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued updated guidance intended to improve financial reporting by requiring entities to disclose additional information in the notes to the financial statements about specific expense categories within the income statement. The updated guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The updated disclosures can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively in the Company's financial statements. Except for the disclosure requirements, the Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
