Changes in Accounting Standards Effective for Future Reporting Periods

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which will require public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which updates income tax disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures regarding income rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. ASU 2023-09 requires that, on an annual basis, entities disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and additional information for reconciling items that meet a certain quantitative threshold. The amendment also requires enhanced disclosures around taxes paid and income tax expense by federal, state and foreign jurisdictions. We adopted the standard on a prospective basis in the current period. See Note 12 for more information.

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.
