FutureFuel Corp. New Standards Disclosure

New Accounting Standards

 

From time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standards setting bodies issue new accounting pronouncements. Updates to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) are communicated through issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”). Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently issued guidance, whether adopted or to be adopted in the future, will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

 

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” ASU 2023-09 requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional disclosure on income taxes paid. We adopted this guidance prospectively for the year ending December 31, 2025 and have provided the required disclosures. See Note 15 Income Taxes.

New accounting standards issued but not yet adopted 

 

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.” ASU 2024-03 requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. The ASU does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. This guidance will be effective for us on January 1, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the changes required by the new standard on the Company's financial statements and disclosures.

 

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 permits the use of certain estimates and assumptions in developing forecasts used for determining expected credit losses on accounts receivable. This guidance will be effective for us on January 1, 2026. We do not expect the above guidance to materially impact our 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.” ASU 2025-06 eliminates the consideration of project development stages in determining whether a cost is eligible for capitalization. Instead, cost capitalization will be based on a “probable to complete” threshold. This guidance will be effective for us on January 1, 2028. We are evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of ASU 2025-06 may have on our consolidated financial statements.
