Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
In March 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2024-01, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards. This update clarifies the scope of “Profit Interest” and similar awards and adds an illustrative example to the existing ASC 718 standard that includes four fact patterns to demonstrate how an entity should apply the scope guidance in paragraph 718-10-15-3 to determine whether a profits interest award should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 718. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for interim and annual financial statements not yet issued or made available for issuance. The amendments in this ASU should be applied either (1) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements or prospectively to profits interest and similar awards granted or (2) modified on or after the date at which the entity first applies the amendments. On January 1, 2025, the Company retrospectively adopted ASU 2024-01. The standard did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 amends ASC 740, Income Taxes to expand income tax disclosures and requires that the Company disclose (i) the
income tax rate reconciliation using both percentages and reporting currency amounts; (ii) specific categories within the income tax rate reconciliation; (iii) additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold; (iv) the composition of state and local income taxes by jurisdiction; and (v) the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 for the year ended December 31, 2025, on a prospective basis. See Note 13, Provision for Income Taxes for additional information.
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02 “Codification Improvements-Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements”, which removes various references to concepts statements from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This ASU is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted this ASU. The standard did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, Codification Improvements, which addresses a wide range of topics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The ASU contains numerous amendments, technical corrections, and clarifications to enhance the clarity and consistency of existing U.S. GAAP. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is assessing the effect of this update on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In October 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities, which provides guidance on the accounting for grants received from a government by a business entity. This update requires entities to apply a model that is similar to the one used for contributions received by not-for-profit entities and aims to increase transparency by requiring new disclosures about government grants. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is assessing the effect of this update on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
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, which simplifies the application of the current expected credit loss model for current accounts receivable and current contract assets under ASC 606. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is assessing the effect of this update on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law, which enacts significant changes to U.S. tax and related laws. Some of the provisions of the new tax law affecting corporations include but are not limited to expensing of domestic research expenses, increasing the limit of the deduction of interest expense deduction to thirty percent of EBITDA, and one hundred percent bonus depreciation on eligible property acquired after January 19, 2025. The net effect of OBBBA did not have a material impact on the Company’s effective tax rate for the period as the tax law changes impacted the timing of deductibility. However, the Company’s income tax liability decreased as a result of accelerated deductions, primarily related to the immediate expensing of domestic specified research or experimental expenditures and the one hundred percent bonus depreciation.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement (Topic 220): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” which requires additional disclosures of certain amounts included in the expense captions presented on the Statement of Operations as well as disclosures about selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 (as further clarified through ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosure (Subtopic 220-40)) is effective on a prospective basis, with the option for retrospective application, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of adopting this guidance on its financial statement 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.
