Effect of Recently Adopted Amendments to Authoritative Accounting Guidance
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”) which amends the guidance for disclosures for reportable segments. ASU 2023-07 introduced new requirements to disclose significant segment expenses regularly provided to the CODM, extends certain annual disclosures to interim periods,
clarifies that single reportable segment entities must apply ASC 280 – Segment Reporting in its entirety, permits more than one measure of segment profit or loss to be reported under certain conditions, and requires disclosure of the title and position of the CODM. Our adoption of ASU 2023-07 had no impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. We have retrospectively applied the amendments to our interim footnote disclosures beginning January 1, 2025, as permitted.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). The amendments require entities to annually disclose the income tax rate reconciliation using both amounts and percentages, considering several categories of reconciling items, including state and local income taxes, foreign tax effects, tax credits and nontaxable or nondeductible items, among others. Disclosure of the reconciling items is subject to a quantitative threshold and disaggregation by nature and jurisdiction. The amendments also require entities to disclose net income taxes paid or received to federal, state and foreign jurisdictions, as well as by individual jurisdiction, subject to a five percent quantitative threshold. The amendments may be adopted on a prospective or retrospective basis and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Our retrospective adoption of ASU 2023-09 had no impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements and we have implemented the amendments on footnote disclosures in “Note (18) Income Taxes.”
Effect of Recently Issued Amendments to Authoritative Accounting Guidance Not Yet AdoptedIn December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow Scope Improvements (“ASU 2025-11”). This update improves the navigability of ASC 270 by consolidating interim disclosure requirements and adding a disclosure principle that requires disclosure of material events and changes since the end of the most recent annual reporting period. This ASU is effective for our interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the impact of the amendments to our Consolidated Financial Statements and our footnote disclosures to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities (“ASU 2025-10”). This update creates Topic 832 to provide guidance on recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of government grants (monetary or tangible nonmonetary assets) received by business entities, excluding not-for-profit entities, tax items under ASC 740, below-market loans, and certain other transactions. Key provisions include policy elections for asset-related grants and requirements to disclose grant nature, accounting policies, line-item impacts, and significant terms/conditions. This ASU is effective for interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2028, with early adoption permitted. We expect to adopt this update via the modified prospective transition approach. We are evaluating the impact of the amendments to our Consolidated Financial Statements and our footnote disclosures to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (“ASU 2025-06”). This update removes references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages and introduces the “probable-to-complete” threshold for consideration of when to begin software capitalization. The update also requires the disclosure of the gross capitalized internal-use software balance, the accumulated amortization, the amortization for the period and a general description of the method used in computing amortization. The amendments may be adopted on a prospective, modified transition or retrospective basis and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the impact of the amendments to our Consolidated Financial Statements and our footnote disclosures to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
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 (“ASU 2025-05”). The amendments introduce a practical expedient related to applying Subtopic 326-20 to current accounts receivable and current contract assets. The practical expedient allows all entities to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset when developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses. Under the practical expedient, historical loss information will be adjusted to reflect current conditions to the extent that historic information does not reflect current conditions. The amendments must be adopted on a prospective basis and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. We have evaluated the impact of the amendments and do not believe there is any material effect to our Consolidated Financial Statements or our footnote disclosures to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”) that requires additional disclosure of certain costs and expenses, including amounts of inventory purchases, employee compensation, and depreciation and amortization included in each income statement line item. ASU 2024-03 also requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses and our definition of selling expenses. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and may be adopted on a prospective basis at the effective date or retrospectively applied to all periods presented. We do not believe there will be any impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements and are evaluating the impact of the amendments on footnote disclosures to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In March 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued a new final rule in Release 33-11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors, which requires the inclusion of climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports. Among other things, the new rule requires disclosure of material climate-related risks, activities related to adapting to or mitigating such risks, related oversight activities, and information on climate-related targets or goals. Information is also required of certain greenhouse gas emissions. Disclosure requirements were to begin phasing in for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2025, however on April 4, 2024, the SEC issued a voluntary stay (SEC Release 33-11280) in response to pending litigation. Therefore, the implementation dates are currently on hold. We are monitoring SEC developments and evaluating the impact of the new rule on our 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.
