FIRST BUSINESS FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC. New Standards Disclosure
Recent Accounting Pronouncements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued , “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” This update enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures by providing better information regarding exposure to potential changes in jurisdictional tax legislation and related forecasting and cash flow opportunities. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Corporation adopted this disclosure standard as of December 31, 2025. The adoption of this standard had no affect on net income, stockholders' equity or cash flows.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40).” This update improves the transparency and usefulness of financial statements by requiring companies to break down certain expense line items. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. The Corporation will implement this standard when it becomes effective. The adoption of the standard only requires additional disclosures and therefore will not affect net income, stockholders' equity or cash flows.
In September 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.” This update modernizes the accounting for internal-use software. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Corporation is assessing the impact of this standard.
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.
