Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-02, Codification Improvements - Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements to remove various references to concepts statements from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This guidance is to clarify guidance, simplify wording or structure of guidance, and other minor improvements. These amendments are effective for the Company for annual periods in 2025, applied prospectively, with early adoption and retrospective application permitted. The Company adopted the amendments in this update prospectively in 2025. The impact of the adoption of the amendments in this update was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-01, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards, to clarify whether profits interest and similar awards should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The guidance applies to all business entities that issue profits interest awards as compensation to employees or nonemployees in exchange for goods or services. These amendments are effective for the Company for annual and interim periods in 2025, applied prospectively, with early adoption and retrospective application permitted. As the Company does not issue profit interest awards, the impact of the adoption of the amendments in this update was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to require enhanced income tax disclosures to provide information to assess how an entity’s operations and related tax risks, tax planning, and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. The amendments in this update provide that a business entity disclose (1) a tabular income tax rate reconciliation, using both percentages and amounts, (2) separate disclosure of any individual reconciling items that are equal to or greater than 5% of the amount computed by multiplying the income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes by the applicable statutory income tax rate, and disaggregation of certain items that are significant and (3) amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state and foreign jurisdictions, including separate disclosure of any individual jurisdictions greater than 5% of total income taxes paid. These amendments are effective for the Company for annual periods in 2025, applied prospectively, with early adoption and retrospective application permitted. The Company applied the amendments prospectively for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the impact of the adoption of the amendments in this update was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025, since the amendments require only enhancement of existing income tax disclosures in the footnotes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive legislation commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025, or the 2025 Act. The 2025 Act makes changes to U.S. corporate income taxes including reinstating the option to claim 100% accelerated depreciation deductions on qualified property, with retroactive application beginning January 20, 2025 and immediate expensing of domestic research and development costs, with retroactive application beginning January 1, 2025. The impact of this legislation was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Recently Issued Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, to clarify and reorganize U.S. GAAP interim reporting guidance to improve navigability, applicability, and consistency without changing the fundamental nature or volume of required interim disclosures. This amendment clarifies when ASC 270 is applicable, establishes a disclosure principle requiring disclosure of material events or changes occurring since the most recent annual reporting period, and consolidates into ASC Topic 270 a comprehensive list of interim disclosures required by other Codification Topics. The amendment also clarifies the form and content of interim financial statements, including guidance for condensed interim reporting. The amendment is effective for the Company for interim periods in 2028, with early adoption permitted. The impact of the adoption of the amendments in this update is not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025‑10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities, to establish specific guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of government grants received to reduce diversity and increase consistency amongst business entities in accounting for such grants. This amendment amends ASC Topic 832 to require that a government grant received by a business entity should not be recognized as income until it is probable that a business entity will comply with the conditions attached to the grant and the grant will be received, with any grant related to an asset to be purchased, constructed or acquired such as long-lived assets or inventory to be recognized on the balance sheet as either deferred income or as an adjustment to the cost basis of the related asset, or the cost accumulation approach, as such costs are incurred. Any grant income or deferred income shall be recognized in earnings on a systematic and rational basis over the periods in which a business entity recognizes as expenses the costs for which the grant is intended to compensate, whereas any grants accounted for using the cost accumulation approach will not have a direct subsequent recognition in earnings, but rather reduced depreciation or amortization in accounting for the related asset. Entities are also required to present grants recognized in earnings separately under other income or deducted from the related expense, and provide disclosures of the nature of the government grant received, the accounting policies used to account for the grant, and the significant terms and conditions of the grant.
The amendment is effective for the Company for annual and interim periods in 2029, with early adoption and multiple transition methods permitted. The impact of the adoption of the amendments in this update is not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations as it does not differ materially from the Company’s current practice in accounting for government grants.
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, to update the accounting for software developed for internal use to better align with software development as it has evolved from a sequential development method to incremental and iterative development methods. The amendments in this update require an entity to begin capitalizing internal-use software costs when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. These amendments are effective for the Company for annual and interim periods in 2028, applied either prospectively, retrospectively, or by a modified approach, with early adoption permitted. As the Company does not currently have a material amount of software developed for internal use, the impact of the adoption of the amendments in this update is not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), to allow entities to elect a practical expedient that assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets. These amendments are effective for the Company for annual and interim periods in 2026 applied prospectively, with early adoption permitted. As the Company does not currently have material credit losses on its trade receivables, the impact of the adoption of the amendments in this update is not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization in commonly presented expense captions such as cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expense, and research and development. These amendments are effective for the Company for annual periods in 2027, applied prospectively, with early adoption permitted, and interim periods beginning in 2028. The Company intends to adopt the amendments in this update prospectively in 2027 for annual periods and in 2028 for interim periods. The impact of the adoption of the amendments in this update is not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations, as the requirements only require more detailed disclosures in the footnotes to the Company’s 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.
