Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-03 “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions” (“ASU 2022-03”). ASU 2022-03 clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring its fair value. ASU 2022-03 also clarifies that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. ASU 2022-03 also introduces new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. The Company adopted ASU 2022-03 on January 1, 2025 and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). This guidance is intended to enhance the transparency and decision-usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 address investor requests for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to disclosure regarding rate reconciliation and income taxes paid both in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis, with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company implemented the new income tax disclosures retrospectively. The implementation of ASU 2023-09 affected disclosures only and had no impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. See Note 16 Income Taxes.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 “Income Statement: Reporting Comprehensive Income— Expense Disaggregation Disclosures,” which requires more detailed information about specified categories of expenses (purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion) included in certain expense captions presented on the face of the income statement, as well as disclosures about selling expenses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments may be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or (2) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07 “Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract”. The ASU excludes from the derivative accounting certain non-exchange-traded contracts with contracts with underlying that are based on operations or activities specific to one of the parties to the contract. Further, the ASU clarifies that an entity should apply the guidance in ASC 606 to a contract with stock-based noncash consideration. The guidance in other Topics (such as ASC 815 or ASC 321) does not apply to such consideration unless and until the entity’s right to receive or retain the consideration is unconditional. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The amendment can be applied either prospectively to new contracts entered into on or after the date of adoption or on a modified retrospective basis through cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the annual reporting period of adoption. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effects of the ASU on its contracts.
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.
