Goldman Sachs BDC, Inc. New Standards Disclosure
New Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” This ASU requires additional disaggregation of certain expenses within the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements. This ASU is effective for the annual periods beginning in January 2027, and interim periods beginning in January 2028 under a prospective approach. Early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. Since this ASU only requires additional disclosures, adoption of this ASU will not have an impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operation or cash flows.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-09, “Hedge Accounting Improvements.” This ASU better aligns hedge accounting with the entity's risk management activities. This ASU expands on hedge accounting guidance for both financial and nonfinancial risk components and aligns the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instruments and the hedged items in the financial statements. This ASU is effective for the Company beginning in January 2027 under a prospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operation or cash flows.

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.
