Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

 

Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of accounting standards updates (“ASU”) to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. Except as noted below, there were no significant ASUs adopted during the year ended December 31, 2025.

 

Future Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2025, the FASB issued new guidance on financial instrument credit losses (ASU 2025-08, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans). Under current GAAP, an allowance for credit losses for assets purchased with credit deterioration is established by grossing up the amortized cost basis of the asset, while the allowance for all other loans is recognized separately as an expense. The ASU expands the population of purchased financial instruments subject to the gross-up approach for determining the allowance for credit losses to include all purchased loans that meet certain criteria. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods starting with fiscal year 2027. This ASU is required to be adopted prospectively for all loans acquired on or after the effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial statements.

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued new guidance on income statement expense disclosures (ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses). This ASU requires public companies to disclose additional disaggregated information about expenses in the notes to financial statements at each interim and annual reporting period. This ASU is effective for fiscal years starting January 1, 2027, and for interim periods starting January 1, 2028. This ASU is required to be adopted prospectively with the option of retrospective application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial statements.

 

FASB ASU 2025-03, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity”. This amendment determining the Accounting Acquirer in a Business Combination Involving a Variable Interest Entity. This update clarifies how to identify the accounting acquirer when a business combination involves a variable interest entity. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The amendment must be applied prospectively for business combinations occurring on or after the adoption date. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

FASB ASU 2025-06, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Capitalization and Disclosure Improvements”. This amendment provides updated guidance on the capitalization of costs related to internal-use software and expands the required disclosures. The objective is to clarify when capitalization is appropriate and to enhance the transparency of financial reporting related to internal-use software development. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after a date to be specified by the FASB (issued in September 2025). Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on 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.
