NAVIENT CORP New Standards Disclosure
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Income Taxes
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires companies to disclose additional information in specified categories regarding reconciliation of the effective tax rate to the statutory rate for federal, state, and foreign income taxes. The ASU also eliminates certain existing disclosure requirements related to uncertain tax positions and unrecognized deferred tax liabilities. This guidance is effective for the current fiscal year and has been implemented prospectively.
Income Statement Expense Disaggregation
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures.” This update requires new financial statement disclosures in tabular format, disaggregating information about prescribed categories underlying any relevant expense caption presented on the income statement within continuing operations that represent functional or natural expense classifications. This guidance will become effective beginning after December 15, 2026, for annual reporting periods, and for interim reporting periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company continues to assess the impact of the income statement disclosure requirements.
Internal-Use Software
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software – Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software.” This update considers different methods of software development and clarifies and expands the requirements for capitalization of software costs. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company continues to assess the impact to our accounting policies and financial statements.
Interim Reporting
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, “Interim Reporting – Narrow Scope Improvements,” which clarifies interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of Topic 270 (Interim Reporting). This guidance will be effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company continues to assess the impact of the interim reporting disclosure requirements.

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.
