Other than such disclosure updates, our adoption did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires disaggregated disclosure of significant segment expenses and other amounts included within the reported measure of segment profit or loss for each reportable segment on an annual and interim basis.

In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, Business Combinations—Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement, which requires a newly-formed joint venture to apply a new basis of accounting to its contributed net assets, resulting in the joint venture initially measuring its contributed net assets at fair value on the formation date. This guidance is effective prospectively for all joint ventures with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this guidance for joint venture formations on or after January 1, 2025.
SEC Climate Disclosure Rules
In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules (“climate disclosure rules”) requiring registrants to disclose, among other things, information about material climate-related risks and their impact on a registrant’s strategy, business model and outlook; information about material direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2), which are subject to assurance requirements; and the financial statement effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions. In April 2024, the SEC stayed the climate disclosure rules pending resolution of legal challenges. In March 2025, the SEC voted to withdraw its defense of the climate disclosure rules.
International Tax Reform
Recently, several countries, including Canada, have enacted legislation to implement key aspects of the global minimum top-up tax in accordance with the Pillar Two model rules of the OECD tax framework. We continue to evaluate the new legislation, but do not currently expect a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
