Recent accounting pronouncements: The following paragraphs discuss recently adopted accounting pronouncements as well as accounting pronouncements pending adoption.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

The following reflect accounting pronouncements adopted by the Company:

ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), was issued in December 2023 to enhance income tax disclosures primarily through the disaggregation of the rate reconciliation and disclosure of income taxes paid to each federal and state jurisdiction (net of refunds). The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and may be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis. As the amendments in this update relate entirely to enhanced disclosure requirements, adoption of this guidance will not have an impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. The Company has provided these enhanced income tax disclosures on a retrospective basis in this annual report on Form 10-K filing for the year ending December 31, 2025.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption

The following reflect accounting pronouncements pending adoption by the Company:

ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) – Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”) was issued in November 2024 and requires additional disclosure about specified categories of expenses included in relevant expense captions presented on the face of the consolidated statements of income. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments may be applied either prospectively to consolidated financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of ASU 2024-03, or retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2024-03 will have on its disclosures.

ASU 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity (“ASU 2025-03”) was issued in May 2025 and amends guidance to improve consistency in identifying the accounting acquirer in transactions involving the acquisition of a variable interest entity that meets the definition of a business. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Other Recent Legislation

On July 4, 2025, new federal tax legislation was signed into law. The legislation includes a range of tax reform measures, including the extension and modification of certain provisions originally enacted under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Key changes include the restoration of 100% bonus depreciation, immediate expensing for domestic research and development expenditures, and modifications to international tax rules. The impact of this legislation is not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations for the year ending December 31, 2025.

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.
