Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09 (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company has adopted this guidance on a retrospective basis, which did not have an impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, although it did result in expanded disclosures which are included in Note 16 of the consolidated financial statements.
Issued in November 2024, ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (Subtopic 220-40), requires the disaggregated disclosure of specific expense categories, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization, within relevant income statement captions. This ASU also requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses along with the definition of selling expenses. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Adoption of this ASU can either be applied prospectively to consolidated financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In March 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-03 (Topics 805 and 810), Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity. The ASU modifies the guidance for identifying the accounting acquirer in business combinations involving a variable interest entity (VIE) by requiring entities to evaluate the existing business combination indicators when the VIE is a business and equity interests are exchanged. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The ASU introduces a practical expedient that allows entities to assume current economic conditions remain unchanged over the life of an asset when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments are applied prospectively to eligible assets existing on or arising after the date of adoption. The Company does not currently have accounts receivable or contract assets arising from ASC 606 transactions. Accordingly, the adoption of ASU 2025-05 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company will continue to monitor future activity and evaluate the applicability of this guidance if accounts receivable or contract assets arise in future periods.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, “Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities” (“ASU 2025-10”), which establishes the accounting and presentation for government grants received by a business entity. ASU 2025-10 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2025-10 permits an entity to apply the new guidance using a modified prospective basis, a modified retrospective basis, or a full retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact from ASU 2025-10 on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements (ASU 2025-11). ASU 2025-11 is intended to improve the clarity and navigability of interim reporting guidance by (i) specifying the required form and content of interim financial statements, (ii) consolidating and organizing interim disclosure requirements across the Codification, and (iii) introducing a disclosure principle requiring entities to describe events occurring after the end of the most recent annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. ASU 2025-11 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-11 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-12, Codification Improvements ("ASU 2025-12"). ASU 2025-12 adds clarification, corrects errors, or makes minor improvements. ASU 2025-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period and adoption can be applied on prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-12 on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Other than as described above, no accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the year ended December 31, 2025, has had or is expected to have a material impact on the 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.
