Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Updates ("ASU") No. 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." The amendments in this update provide more transparency about income tax information through improvements to the income tax disclosure primarily related to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. These requirements include: (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The other amendments in this update improve the effectiveness and comparability of disclosures by (3) adding disclosures of pretax income (or loss) and income tax expense (or benefit), and (4) removing disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial or relevant. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 for the year ended December 27, 2025, and applied the new disclosure requirements prospectively to the current annual period. Prior period disclosures have not been adjusted to reflect the new disclosure requirements. See Note 14, Income Taxes, for more information and the updated disclosures.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-12, "Codification Improvements." The amendments in this update represent changes to the codification that clarify, correct errors, or make minor improvements. The amendments make the codification easier to understand and apply. The amendments in this update are varied in nature and may affect the application of guidance in cases in which the original guidance may have been unclear. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect any material effect of the adoption of this guidance on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, "Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements." The amendments in this update result in a comprehensive list of interim disclosures that are required by GAAP. The objective of the amendments is to provide clarity about the current requirements, rather than evaluate whether to expand or reduce interim disclosure requirements. The amendments in this update include a disclosure principle that requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The amendments in this update also clarify the applicability of Topic 270, the types of interim reporting, and the form and content of interim financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect any material effect of the adoption of this guidance on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-09, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements." The amendments in this update are intended to more closely align hedge accounting with the economics of an entity's risk management activities.The five issues addressed in this update (1) expand the hedged risks permitted to be aggregated in a group of individual forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge by changing the requirement to designate a group of individual forecasted transactions from having a shared risk exposure to having a similar risk exposure, (2) provide a model to facilitate the application of cash flow hedge accounting to forecasted interest payments on variable-rate debt instruments with contractual terms that permit the borrower to change the interest rate index and interest rate tenor upon which interest is accrued, (3) expand hedge accounting for forecasted purchases and sales of nonfinancial assets, (4) update the hedge accounting guidance to accommodate differences in the loan and swap markets that developed after the cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate, and (5) eliminate the recognition and presentation mismatch related to a dual hedge strategy. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect any material effect of the adoption of this guidance on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software." The amendments in this update require the entity to start capitalizing software costs when both of the following criteria are met: (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 (referred to as the "probable-to-complete recognition threshold"). The amendments clarify that the intangibles disclosures are not required for capitalized internal-use software costs. Additionally, the amendments in this update supersede the website development costs guidance and incorporate the recognition requirements for website-specific development costs. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of these amendments on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets." The amendments in this update provide entities with a practical expedient when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606. In developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses, the practical expedient allows entities to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect any material effect of the adoption of this guidance on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)." The amendments in this update require disclosure, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The amendments require that at each interim and annual reporting period an entity (a) disclose the amounts of (i) purchases of inventory, (ii) employee compensation, (iii) depreciation, (iv) intangible asset amortization, and (v) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil and gas producing activities ("DD&A") included in each relevant expense caption. A relevant expense caption is an expense caption presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations that contains any of the expense categories listed in (i)–(v); (b) include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements; (c) disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively; (d) disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance will increase the Company's disclosures in its Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact on the disclosures in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-06, "Disclosure Improvements." The amendments in this update represent changes to clarify or improve the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of Topics in the ASC. The Company may be affected by one or more of those amendments. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively and will not be effective until June 30, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of these amendments on its 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.
