Recently Issued Accounting Updates
Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs") to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"). We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable, clarifications of ASUs listed below, immaterial, or already adopted by the Company.
The following table provides a brief description of recently adopted accounting pronouncements and our analysis of the effects on our financial statements:
| Standard | Description | Date of Adoption | Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters | ||||||||
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements | |||||||||||
ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures | This ASU improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in this update enhance annual and interim disclosure requirements, determine significant segment expense, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. | September 30, 2025 | We adopted this ASU during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, as required. The adoption did not affect our Consolidated Financial Statements and did not materially affect our disclosures. The required additional disclosures are included in Note 17—Business Segments and Geographic Information. | ||||||||
Standards that are not yet adopted as of September 30, 2025 | |||||||||||
| ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures | This ASU enhances income tax disclosure requirements. Under the ASU, public business entities must annually (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income or loss by the applicable statutory income tax rate). Specific categories that must be included in the reconciliation for each annual reporting period are specified in the amendment. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted. Upon adoption, the amendments shall be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted. | September 30, 2026 | We plan to adopt this ASU, as required, during fiscal year 2026, with the first disclosure enhancements reflected in our fiscal year 2026 Form 10-K. We are currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on our disclosures. | ||||||||
| ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement -- Reporting Comprehensive Income -- Expense Disaggregation Disclosure (Subtopic 220-40) | This ASU enhances disclosure requirements for certain costs and expenses. The amendments in this update enhance annual and interim disclosure requirements, certain liability-related expenses, expense reimbursements related to a cost-sharing or cost-reimbursement arrangement with another entity, and the disaggregation of relevant expense captions. This update gives entities the ability to use estimates or other methods that produce a reasonable approximation of the amounts required to be disclosed. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the amendments shall be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this Update or (2) retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. | September 30, 2028 | We plan to adopt this ASU, as required, during fiscal year 2028 with the first disclosure enhancements reflected in our fiscal year 2028 Form 10-K. We are currently evaluating the impact the new guidance may have on our Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures. | ||||||||

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.
