Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. New Standards Disclosure
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"). The ASU requires that an entity disclose specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The ASU also introduces requirements for disaggregated disclosures of federal, state and foreign income tax expense and taxes paid. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2024, and should be applied prospectively, although retrospective application is permitted. The Company elected to adopt the amendments retrospectively for the annual period ending December 31, 2025, and expanded its disclosures around income taxes. See Note 17 for further information.
Recent Accounting Guidance 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. The ASU requires disclosure of disaggregated information about specific categories underlying certain income statement expense line items. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and is effective on either a prospective basis or retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on our financial 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. The ASU provides a practical expedient that allows entities to assume conditions existing as of the balance sheet date remain unchanged over the life of the asset when estimating credit losses for current trade receivables and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and for interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively. The Company believes that adoption of this ASU will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
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 guidance updates requirements for capitalizing internal-use software costs by replacing the current stage-based model with a principles-based approach. Under the new ASU, capitalization of eligible software development costs begins when management has authorized and committed to funding the project and it is probable the project will be completed and used as intended. Entities must also consider whether significant uncertainty exists regarding the development activities. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments may be applied prospectively, on a modified retrospective basis for in-process projects, or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements. The ASU introduces targeted improvements intended to better align hedge accounting with an entity’s risk management activities, including expanded eligibility for certain hedging instruments, enhanced flexibility in designating hedged items, and clarifications for hedging strategies involving variable pricing and foreign currency risk. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. The ASU provides clarifications intended to improve the consistency and usability of interim disclosure requirements, including a comprehensive listing of required interim disclosures and a new disclosure principle for reporting material events occurring after the most recent annual period. The amendments do not change the underlying objectives of interim reporting but are designed to enhance clarity in application. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted and is effective on either a prospective basis or retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.Historical Timeline

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.
