New accounting guidance and regulatory items
On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, to require disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the notes of the financial statements. The standard is effective for FMC beginning with the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2027 and early adoption is permitted. The guidance is required to be applied prospectively and amendments in the ASU may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impacts this standard will have on our disclosures.
Recently adopted accounting guidance
On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Income Taxes, to improve the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The standard requires companies to disclose a tabular effective rate reconciliation with certain reconciling items broken out by nature and/or jurisdiction as well as more robust disclosures of income taxes paid, specifically broken out between federal, state and foreign. The ASU is effective for FMC beginning with the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and, as such, we have adopted the new disclosure requirements for this Form 10-K. Refer to Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements for the required disclosures.

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.
