Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2025-06 "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software" (ASU 2025-06) which modernizes the accounting for internal-use software to current development practices, clarifies when to begin capitalizing costs, and enhances disclosure requirements. This update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2025-06 is not expected to significantly change our current accounting for internal-use software.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10 "Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities" (ASU 2025-10) to establish guidance on the recognition, measurement, and presentation of government grants received by business entities. The new guidance leverages the principles in the accounting framework for government assistance in International Accounting Standard 20 "Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance". The new guidance is effective for public business entities in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2028, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2025-10 is not expected to significantly change our current accounting for incentives from federal, state, and local governments.

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.
