Recently Issued Accounting Standards
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 amends the disclosure requirements related to certain costs and expenses on an interim and annual basis. This standard is effective for fiscal year ending December 31, 2027, and interim periods within fiscal year ending December 31, 2028, and can be applied either on a prospective or retrospective basis. The adoption of the standard will not impact our consolidated financial statements. Upon adoption, we will update the applicable interim and annual disclosures to align with the new standard.
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, which provides a practical expedient to measure credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets. The practical expedient allows companies to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset when measuring credit losses. This standard is effective for fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 and interim periods within 2026, with early adoption permitted, and should be applied on a prospective basis. We are not anticipating this standard to have a material impact on 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, which clarifies and modernizes the software cost capitalization guidance by removing the previous “development stage” model and introducing a more judgment-based approach. This standard is effective for fiscal year ending December 31, 2028, and interim periods within 2028, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied using a prospective, retrospective or modified transition approach. We are currently in the process of evaluating the effects of this standard 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.
