Public business entities are required to provide tabular disclosures which disaggregate expenses such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization. A separate total of an entity's selling expenses is also required, along with the disclosure of how the company determines them. The guidance is required to be applied prospectively, but may be applied retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15 2027.

ASU 2025-09, November 2025, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Hedge Accounting Improvements | This ASU amends certain aspects of hedge accounting in ASC 815. The main amendments relate to cash flow hedging, but some of the amendments affect certain fair value and net investment hedges. The key changes include: (1) Allows individual forecasted transactions to be hedged in a group if they have similar risk exposure for cash flow hedges. (2) Establishes a model borrowers can use in cash flow hedges of forecasted interest payments on choose-your-rate debt instruments. (3) Expands hedge accounting for forecasted purchases and sales of nonfinancial assets. (4) Eliminates the requirement for the net written option test in certain instances to accommodate differences in the loan and swap markets that resulted from reference rate reform. (5) Eliminates the recognition and presentation mismatch for foreign currency-denominated debt used as both a net investment hedge instrument and a hedged item for interest rate risk. The guidance is applied prospectively for all hedging relationships as of the date of adoption. The guidance applies to all public entities and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. | We are assessing the impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements. | ||||||||||||
ASU 2025-10, December 2025, Government Grants (Topic 832), Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities | This ASU establishes guidance on the recognition, measurement, and presentation of government grants received by business entities. ASU 2025-10 introduces specific recognition thresholds (probability of compliance and receipt) and detailed disclosures, aiming to improve consistency and comparability in financial reporting for grants. The new guidance is effective for public business entities in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2028 (including interim periods within) and one year later for all other entities, with early adoption permitted in any period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The guidance can be applied on a modified prospective basis, a modified retrospective basis, or a full retrospective basis | We are assessing the impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements. | ||||||||||||
ASU 2025-11, December 2025, Interim Reporting (Topic 270), Narrow-Scope Improvements | This ASU clarifies that an entity is subject to ASC 270 if it provides interim financial statements and notes in accordance with GAAP. This ASU also addresses the form and content of such financial statements, adds a comprehensive list of mandatory interim disclosures pulled from other ASC topics, and establishes a principle under which an entity must disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The guidance can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The guidance applies to all public entities and is effective for interim reporting periods with annual reporting periods after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. | We are assessing the impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements. | ||||||||||||

ASU 2025-12, December 2025, Codification Improvements | This ASU clarifies, corrects errors in and makes improvements to several topics within the FASB Codification. The amendments are part of an ongoing FASB project to make non-substantive technical corrections, clarifications, and improvements to make standards more consistent and easier to interpret for preparers and users. The guidance applies to all public entities and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. | We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. | ||||||||||||

ASU 2024-04, November 2024, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20), Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments | This ASU clarifies that to qualify for induced conversion accounting, an inducement offer must preserve the issuance of all of the consideration (in form and amount) issuable in accordance with the conversion privileges specified in the terms of the existing debt instrument. In addition, the ASU requires that to qualify for induced conversion accounting, an instrument must contain a substantive conversion feature as of the date on which both the issuance offer and the inducement offer are accepted by the convertible debt holder. An entity that doesn't meet all of the criteria for conversion accounting or induced conversion accounting applies extinguishment accounting and recognizes a gain or loss for the difference between the fair value of the entire consideration transferred and the net carrying amount of the debt. Entities have the option to apply the guidance either (1) prospectively to settlements of convertible debt instruments that occur during fiscal years (and interim periods within those fiscal years) beginning after the effective date or (2) retrospectively. Under the retrospective transition approach, the entity recasts prior periods and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the later of the beginning of the earliest period presented or the date the entity adopted ASU 2020-06. This is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those fiscal years. | We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. | ||||||||||||
| Issued in 2023: | ||||||||||||||
ASU 2023-06, October 2023, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC's Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative | This ASU amends the disclosure or presentation requirements related to various subtopics in the FASB Accounting Standard Codification (the "Codification"). The new guidance is intended to align U.S. GAAP requirements with those of the SEC and to facilitate the application of U.S. GAAP for all entities. These disclosure requirements are currently included in either SEC Regulation S-X or SEC Regulation S-K. The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC's removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective. Early adoption is prohibited and the amendments should be applied prospectively. If the SEC has not removed the applicable requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K by June 30, 2027, the amendments will be removed from the Codification and will not be effective. | We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our 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.
