Recently Adopted Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The updated guidance requires enhanced disclosures for significant expenses by reportable operating segments. The significant expense categories would be those regularly provided to the Company's chief operating decision-maker ("CODM") and included in an operating segment's measures of profit or loss. Other required disclosures include the composition of other segment items, the title and position of the CODM and an explanation on how the CODM evaluates and uses the reportable segment's performance. This guidance for segment reporting is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2024, which did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
The segment reporting guidance identifies operating segments as components of a business which are evaluated regularly by the Company's Chief Financial Officer, who is the designated CODM and is responsible for deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The segment is distinguished by the level of the information provided to the CODM, who uses such information to review performance of various components of the business, which are then aggregated if operating performance, products and services and customers are similar. While the Company monitors the available information about products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a company-wide basis. Management has determined that the Company has one reportable segment consisting of community banking and is engaged in lending activities and deposit services in addition to providing fiduciary, investment advisory, insurance and brokerage services. Management continues to evaluate the Company's business units for separate reporting if facts and circumstances change.
The community banking segment includes revenues from interest income primarily from loans and investment securities and non-interest income, which includes revenue from trust and investment management and retail brokerage services. The performance of the segment is evaluated using net income that is also reported on the consolidated statements of income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets. Significant expenses, other than interest expense and the provision for credit losses, of the Company include salaries and employee benefits, occupancy, furniture and equipment, data processing and professional service fees. The CODM evaluates the financial performance of the segment using net income to monitor budget versus actual results. Other relevant company-wide financial performance and credit quality metrics used by the CODM to evaluate the segment performance and benchmark to the Company's peers include return on average assets, return on average shareholders' equity, basic and diluted earnings per common share, net interest margin and the efficiency ratio, among others.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which will require updates to the disclosures of the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The income tax rate reconciliation will require expanded disclosure, using percentages and reporting currency amounts, to include specific categories, including state and local income tax, net of the federal income tax effect, tax credits and nontaxable and non-deductible items, with additional qualitative explanations of individually significant reconciling items. The amount of income taxes paid will require disaggregation by jurisdictional categories: federal, state and foreign. This guidance for income tax disclosures is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the updated guidance; however, management does not expect it will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires public business entities to disclose specified information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to the financial statements. The amendments require that at each interim and annual reporting period an entity disclose:
(a) purchases of inventory; (b) employee compensation; (c) depreciation; (d) intangible asset amortization; and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities included in each relevant expense caption;
certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current GAAP in the same disclosures as other disaggregation requirements;
qualitative descriptions of amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively and
the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, the entity's definition of selling expenses.
In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01 clarifying the effective date for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating ASU 2024-03 and its impact on its 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.
