2. Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." The amendments in this update require public entities on an annual basis to (i) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (ii) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Further, the amendments require entities to disclose on an annual basis income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal (national), state and foreign taxes and to disaggregate the information by jurisdiction based on a quantitative threshold. The Registrants adopted this standard effective January 1, 2025. The presentation of certain prior year information in the supplemental cash flow statement information and within Note 7 have been adjusted to align with current year disclosure changes resulting from the Registrants' adoption of ASU 2023-09.

 

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures." The amendments in this update improve financial reporting by requiring disclosure of additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements on an annual and interim basis. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Registrants are evaluating the impact of this standard and do not believe it will have a material impact on their financial statement disclosures.

 

In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2025-06, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software." The targeted improvements in this update aim to better align current software development processes when considering capitalization of internal-use software costs. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim periods within that period. Early adoption is permitted. The Registrants are evaluating the impact of this standard on their financial statements.

 

The Registrants believe that other recently adopted and recently issued accounting standards that are not yet effective do not appear to have a material impact on the Registrants' financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.

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.
