Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in the Current Year: ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, adds disclosure requirements to disaggregate information related to the effective tax rate reconciliation and information on income taxes paid. The disclosures enhance the assessment of an entity’s operations and related tax risks.

This standard is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2025, and has been implemented on a prospective basis. The standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The guidance requires only additional disclosure, and as a result there has been no effects on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Accounting Pronouncements Yet to be Adopted: ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, adds disclosure requirements to disaggregate information related to an entity's income statement. The disclosures will allow for enhanced transparency of an entity's expenses.

This standard is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2027. The Company is evaluating the standard.

ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, provides guidance for the evaluation of determining whether criteria is met to begin the capitalization of internal-use software costs. ASC 350 (Intangibles—Goodwill and Other) requires the capitalization of internal-use software costs begin when both of the following criteria are met: (1) when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and (2) the probability that the project will be completed and will be used to perform the function intended. If uncertainty exists under the guidance issued in Subtopic 350-40 then a probable to complete threshold will not exist and any costs would be expensed until uncertainties are resolved.

The updated guidance also requires the application of disclosure requirements in ASC 360 (Plant, Property, and Equipment) for all capitalized costs regardless of presentation in the financial statements. This standard is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2028 and interim periods within the annual reporting periods. The Company is evaluating the standard.

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.
