HERBALIFE LTD. New Standards Disclosure
New Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative, which amends the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of topics in the accounting standards codification in order to conform with certain SEC amendments in Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification. The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC removes that related disclosure from its rules. However, if by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the related disclosure from its regulations, the amendments will be removed from the ASC and not become effective. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Topic 220): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU requires new disclosures, in the notes to the financial statements, related to the disaggregation of certain expenses within the income statement. Additionally, a qualitative description is required of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. Annually, an entity is also required to define and quantify its selling expenses. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-04, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options - (Topic 470) - Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments. This ASU amends certain guidance related to induced conversion of convertible debt instruments and clarifies the applicability of induced conversion accounting as it relates to convertible debt that is cash-settled. Additionally, the amendments clarify that the incorporation, elimination, or modification of a volume-weighted average price formula does not automatically cause a settlement to be accounted for as an extinguishment and an entity should assess the form and amount of the conversion consideration to make that determination. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted for those entities that have adopted the amendments in ASU 2020-06. The Company believes the adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810) - Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity. This ASU improves requirements for determining the accounting acquirer for a transaction effected primarily by exchanging equity interests in which the legal acquiree is a variable interest entity that meets the definition of a business. The amendments require that an entity consider the same factors that are currently required for determining which entity is the accounting acquirer in other acquisition transactions. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted for all entities. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-04, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Clarifications to Share-Based Consideration Payable to a Customer. This ASU amends the definition of the term performance condition for share-based consideration payable to a customer. Additionally, the amendments in this ASU require the grantor to estimate the number of forfeitures expected to occur for awards granted to customers that have a service condition. Finally, the amendments clarify that a grantor should not apply the guidance in Topic 606 on constraining estimates of variable consideration to share-based consideration payable to a customer. Therefore, a grantor is required to assess the probability that an award will vest using only the guidance in Topic 718. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted for all entities and can be applied either in a modified retrospective or retrospective basis. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Measurement of Credit Losses (Topic 326) for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. This ASU allows entities to elect a practical expedient to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change over the remaining life of the asset, thereby simplifying the development of reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company believes the adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). This ASU increases the operability of the cost recognition guidance considering different methods of software development by clarifying the threshold an entity should use to start capitalizing the costs. The threshold is when both of the following occur: (1) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and (2) it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract. This ASU refines the scope of derivative accounting by excluding from derivative treatment certain non-exchange-traded contracts with underlyings based on operations or activities specific to one of the parties to the contract. The update also clarifies that share-based noncash consideration from a customer in a revenue contract is accounted for under Topic 606 unless and until the right to receive or retain such consideration is unconditional. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-09, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements. This ASU clarifies certain aspects of the hedge accounting guidance and addresses additional issues arising from the global reference rate reform initiative. The amendments address five issues: (1) similar risk assessment for cash flow hedges, (2) hedging forecasted interest payments on choose-your-rate debt instruments, (3) cash flow hedges of nonfinancial forecasted transactions, (4) net written options as hedging instruments, and (5) foreign-currency-denominated debt instrument as a hedging instrument and hedged item (dual hedge). The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted on any date on or after the issuance of this guidance. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities. This ASU establishes authoritative guidance on the accounting, including recognition, measurement, and presentation, of government grants received by business entities as previously there was diversity in practice on how to account for such government grants. The guidance classifies government grants into two groups: (1) grants related to an asset, which are conditioned on the purchase, construction, or acquisition of an asset, and (2) grants related to income, for all other grants not related to an asset. Further, for asset-related government grants, companies may elect to recognize under the deferred income approach or cost accumulation approach, while government grants related to income are recognized under the deferred income approach. When the deferred income approach is used, entities present the grants as part of earnings by either (1) disclosing separately under a general heading, such as other income, or (2) deducting from the related expense. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. This ASU improves the guidance in Topic 270 by improving the navigability of the required interim disclosures from other topics and clarifying when existing guidance is applicable. The purpose of ASU is not to expand or change previous interim reporting guidance, however, an added principle requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have material impact on the entity. The amendments are effective for interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-12, Codification Improvements. The amendments in the ASU reflect changes made to the guidance with the purpose of clarifying, correcting errors, and making minor improvements. The updates were made to a wide range of Topics and varied in nature. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

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.
