KOHLS Corp New Standards Disclosure
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Issued and Adopted
In 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures (“”), which establishes new and enhanced income tax disclosure requirements, including greater disaggregation of information within the effective income tax rate reconciliation table. We adopted this standard prospectively with the additional and enhanced disclosures presented in Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Accounting Standards Issued but not yet Effective
In 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. For public entities, the provisions within ASU 2024-03 are effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The provisions within ASU 2024-03 are required to be applied prospectively; however, they may be applied retrospectively for all comparative periods following the effective date. We are currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.
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 ("ASU 2025-06"), which requires software capitalization to begin when both of the following occur: (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 perform the function intended. For public entities, the provisions within ASU 2025-06 are effective for the first annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The provisions within ASU 2025-06 allow for a prospective, modified, or retrospective transition approach. We are currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2025-06 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.
