Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standards setting bodies issue new accounting pronouncements. Updates to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) are communicated through the issuance of an Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”).
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740), which requires more detailed income tax disclosures. The guidance requires entities to disclose disaggregated information about their effective tax rate reconciliation as well as expanded information on income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The Company adopted the standard during the year ended December 31, 2025. The disclosure requirements were applied on a prospective basis to the current annual period. Prior period disclosures have not been adjusted to reflect the new disclosure requirements. See Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements for further details.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (Subtopic 220-40). The guidance requires all public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new standard.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Internal Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). This guidance is intended to improve the operability and application of guidance related to capitalized software development costs and removes all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages. The guidance requires entities to begin capitalizing software costs when management authorizes and commits to funding the software projects, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used for its intended purpose. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new 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.
