JANUS HENDERSON GROUP PLC New Standards Disclosure
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for our annual periods beginning January 1, 2025. We applied a prospective adoption approach, and the adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements 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,” to expand disclosure requirements about specific expense categories within the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for our annual period beginning January 1, 2027 and interim periods beginning January 1, 2028. 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. Early adoption is also permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the disclosures included in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-06, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software,” which removes all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods. Therefore, under the ASU, software capitalization will begin when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and when it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function. ASU 2025-06 is effective for our annual periods beginning January 1, 2028, and interim reporting periods within that period. The guidance is to be applied on a prospective basis, on a modified transition approach, or a retrospective transition approach. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have 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.
