•Annual disclosure of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign taxes and further disaggregated by jurisdiction based on a quantitative threshold.
•Other disclosures include: (i) income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign amounts and (ii) income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign.
Octave has adopted this ASU prospectively for the annual reporting period ending December 31, 2025.
There have been no other new accounting standards adopted during the year ended December 31, 2025.
Future Application of Accounting Standards and Required Disclosures
Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets:
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments— Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The amendments in the ASU provide all entities with a practical expedient when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions under Topic 606. 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 ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. The standard is not expected to have a material impact on Octave's financial statements.
Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles— Goodwill and Other— Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal Use Software. This standard is intended to increase the operability of the accounting guidance for internal-use software development costs considering the evolution of software development methods. Amendments remove references to prescriptive and sequential project stages, requiring entities to start capitalizing costs when: (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the project and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended.
The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027 with early adoption permitted. Octave has not determined if it will early adopt this ASU and is evaluating its impact on Octave's financial statements.
Expense Disaggregation Disclosures:
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The enhanced disclosures requirements include the following:
•Disclose the amounts of certain expense categories included in each relevant expense caption. Those categories applicable to Octave include employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. 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 above.
•Include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current GAAP in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements.
•Disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively.
•Disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses.
The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim reporting periods after December 15, 2027 with early adoption permitted. Octave has not determined if it will early adopt this ASU and is evaluating the impact on Octave's 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.
