Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

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” (“ASU 2023-06”). ASU 2023-06 modifies the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of Topics in the Codification. Certain of the amendments represent clarifications to or technical corrections of the current requirements. The guidance will be effective on the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. If by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the applicable requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, the pending content of the related amendment will be removed from the Codification and will not become effective. The amendments in the Update should be applied prospectively. The adoption of ASU 2023-06 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of income statement expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”). The amendments in ASU 2024-03 require disclosure, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The amendments require that at each interim and annual reporting period an entity: 1) Disclose the amounts of (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil and gas-producing activities (DD&A) (or other amounts of depletion expense) included in each relevant expense caption. A relevant expense caption is an expense caption presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations that contains any of the expense categories listed in (a)–(e). 2) Include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements. 3) Disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. 4) Disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. The guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. We are still evaluating the effect of this guidance.

 

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, “Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets” (“ASU 2025-05”). ASU 2025-05 provides (1) all entities with a practical expedient and (2) entities other than public business entities with an accounting policy election when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606, as follows:

 

	1.	Practical expedient. In developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses, all entities may elect a practical expedient that assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset.
	2.	Accounting policy election. An entity other than a public business entity that elects the practical expedient is permitted to make an accounting policy election to consider collection activity after the balance sheet date when estimating expected credit losses.

 

The guidance should be adopted prospectively and will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. We will be adopting the practical expedient as of January 1, 2026, and the adoption of ASU 2025-05 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.

 

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software” (“ASU 2025-06”). ASU 2025-06 changes the cost capitalization threshold by:

 

	1.	eliminating accounting consideration of software project development stages; cost capitalization would begin when (1) management has authorized and committed to funding the project and (2) it is ‘probable’ the project will be completed and the software used to perform its intended function (the ‘probable-to-complete’ threshold); and
	2.	enhancing the guidance around the ‘probable-to-complete’ threshold (given its new prominence) and providing new examples in Subtopic 350-40 to illustrate its application.

ASU 2025-06 also modifies the website development costs guidance by eliminating Subtopic 350-50 and relocating any remaining relevant guidance into Subtopic 350-40 and adding a new example. The guidance can be adopted retrospectively, prospectively or on a modified prospective basis and will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. We are still evaluating the effect of this guidance.

 

In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-09, “Hedge Accounting Improvements” (“ASU 2025-09”). Consistent with the original objective of Update 2017-12, the objective of ASU 2025-09 is to more closely align hedge accounting with the economics of an entity’s risk management activities. Five issues are addressed in ASU 2025-09 and are intended to better reflect those strategies in financial reporting by enabling entities to achieve and maintain hedge accounting for highly effective economic hedges of forecasted transactions. The five issues are as follows:

 

	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
	5.	Foreign-Currency-Denominated Debt Instrument as Hedging Instrument and Hedged Item (Dual Hedge)

 

ASU 2025-09 applies to any entity that elects to apply hedge accounting in accordance with Topic 815 and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. We are still evaluating the effect of this guidance, however, the adoption of ASU 2025-09 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.

 

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, “Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements” (“ASU 2025-11”). The amendments in ASU 2025-11 clarify interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of Topic 270. The amendments result in a comprehensive list of interim disclosures that are required by GAAP. In developing the list of disclosures required by other Topics, the FASB focused on identifying the interim disclosures that are currently required under GAAP. The objective of the amendments is to provide clarity about the current requirements, rather than evaluate whether to expand or reduce interim disclosure requirements. The amendments also include a disclosure principle that requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The intent of the disclosure principle, which is modeled after a previous SEC disclosure requirement, is to help entities determine whether disclosures not specified in Topic 270 should be provided in interim reporting periods. The amendments also clarify the applicability of Topic 270, the types of interim reporting, and the form and content of interim financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The FASB expects that these clarifications will enhance consistency in interim reporting for all entities. The amendments are effective for public business entities for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The adoption of ASU 2025-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.

 

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-12, “Accounting Standards Update Codification Improvements” (“ASU 2025-12”). The FASB has a standing project to address suggestions received from stakeholders on the Accounting Standards Codification and to make other incremental improvements to generally accepted accounting principles. This evergreen project facilitates Codification updates for a broad range of Topics arising from technical corrections, unintended application of the Codification, clarifications, and other minor improvements. The resulting amendments are collectively referred to as Codification improvements. The FASB decided that the types of issues that it will consider through this project are improvements that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or result in significant costs to most entities. Thirty-three issues are addressed in ASU 2025-12 and represent changes to the Codification that (1) clarify, (2) correct errors, or (3) make minor improvements. The amendments make the Codification easier to understand and apply. Generally, the amendments in ASU 2025-12 are not intended to result in significant changes for most entities. The amendments are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The adoption of ASU 2025-12 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.
