Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which amends Income Taxes (Topic 740). The FASB issued this update to improve annual basis income tax disclosures related to (1) rate reconciliation, (2) income taxes paid, and (3) other disclosures related to pretax income (or loss) and income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations. The effective date for this amendment is January 1, 2025 with early adoption permitted. We adopted the new standard for the annual reporting period ended December 31, 2025 and applied the new reporting requirements retrospectively so comparative periods have been restated accordingly. See Note 11 Income Taxes in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for further detail.
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 amendments in ASU 2025-05 provide a practical expedient related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted in both interim and annual reporting periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. Effective October 1, 2025, we early adopted ASU 2025-05, electing the practical expedient permitting an entity to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date remains unchanged over the life of the asset when estimating expected credit losses for current account receivable and current contract assets. The adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements or related disclosures.
Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
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. The new guidance is intended to enhance transparency and disclosures by requiring public business entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The FASB further clarified the effective date in January 2025 with the issuance of ASU 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date. The ASU is effective for our Annual
Report as of December 31, 2027, and for interim reporting periods beginning in the first quarter of 2028, with early adoption permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments. The new guidance clarifies the assessment of whether a transaction should be accounted for as an induced conversion or extinguishment of convertible debt when changes are made to conversion features as part of an offer to settle the instrument. The ASU is effective beginning in 2026, with early adoption permitted. We will utilize this guidance for any future induced conversions or extinguishments of our convertible notes.
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, which modernizes the internal-use software guidance that is accounting for under Subtopic 350-40. The amendments eliminates the previous stage-based model (preliminary project stage, application development stage, and post-implementation stage) and replaces it with a principles-based approach that better aligns with modern software development practice, including agile and iterative methodologies. Under the new guidance, entities may begin capitalizing internal-use software development costs when (1) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and (2) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to performed the function intended. The ASC also supersede the separate guidance on website development costs guidance and incorporate it into the internal-use software framework. ASU 2025-06 is effective for us beginning with our interim financial reports for the first quarter of 2028, with early adoption permitted. We intend to early adopt ASU 2025-06 prospectively for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2026, including interim periods. We do not expect the guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract. The ASU adds a new scope exception from derivative accounting for non-exchange-traded contracts with underlyings that are based on operations or activities specific to one of the parties to the contract. The ASU also clarifies that when an entity has a right to receive a share-based payment from its customer in exchange for the transfer of goods or services, the share-based payment should be accounted for as noncash consideration within the scope of ASC 606. ASU 2025-07 is effective for us beginning with our interim financial reports for the first quarter of 2027. This standard is not expected to have any significant impact on our results of operations, financial position, cash flow, or related disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which is intended to improve the navigability of the guidance in ASC 270, Interim Reporting, and clarify when it applies. Under the amendment, an entity is subject to ASC 270 if it provides interim financial statements and notes in accordance with GAAP. The amendment also addresses the form and content of such financial statements, interim disclosures requirements, and establishes a principle under which an entity must disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. ASU 2025-11 is effective for our interim financial reports for the first quarter of 2028, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related 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.
