SeaStar Medical Holding Corp New Standards Disclosure
Recently adopted accounting standards
Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 — In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption was permitted, but the Company elected not to early adopt and adopted for the year ended December 31, 2025. ASU 2023-09 requires the Company to consistently categorize and provide greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation it must further disaggregate income taxes paid. However, as the Company is currently generating net operating losses, pays no federal and limited state taxes and does not operate in foreign jurisdictions, this does not have a significant impact to the Company's income tax disclosures (see Note 13).
Recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted
Accounting Standards Update 2024-03 — In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 - Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. ASU 2024-03 requires the disclosure of additional information related to certain costs and expenses, including amounts of inventory purchases, employee compensation, and depreciation and amortization included in each income statement line item. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its 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.
