FENNEC PHARMACEUTICALS INC. New Standards Disclosure
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. This guidance will be effective for annual periods beginning the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 on January 1, 2025, on a prospective basis, and the adoption affected only the Company’s income tax disclosures and did not have an impact on its consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
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 disclosure of additional disaggregated information about significant expenses within relevant income statement captions, such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and depletion. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, “Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (“ASU 2025-05”). The guidance in ASU 2025-05 amends ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, to provide a practical expedient to simplify estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The practical expedient, if elected, allows entities to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. The standard is effective for annual fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. Entities that elect the practical expedient should apply the guidance prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2025-05 may have on its 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.
