Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-06 "Disclosure Improvements - Codification Amendments in Response to SEC's Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative." This amendment 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. For entities subject to the SEC's existing disclosure requirements and entities required to file or furnish financial statements with or to the SEC in preparation for the sale of or for purposes of issuing securities that are not subject to contractual restrictions on transfer, the effective date for each amendment will be 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. For all other entities, the amendments will be effective two years later. Amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively. The Company continues to analyze this ASU. The update is specific to disclosures and, therefore, is not expected to have a material impact to the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" (ASU 2023-09), which enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. Adjustments to the annual disclosure of income taxes include: (1) A tabular rate reconciliation comprised of eight specific categories, (2) Income taxes paid, disaggregated between significant national, state, and foreign jurisdictions, (3) Eliminates requirements to disclose the nature and estimate of reasonably possible changes to unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months or that an estimated range cannot be made, and (4) Adds a requirement to disclose income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) by national and foreign, and income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated between national, state and foreign. The ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2024 with early adoption permitted. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 were adopted by the Company on a prospective basis. There was no material impact to the Company's financial statements as a result of adopting ASU 2023-09.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, "Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses" which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026. We are currently evaluating the effect of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
