Recently Adopted or Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted
In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” This ASU enhances reportable segment disclosures on both an annual and interim basis primarily in regards to the disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and included within the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss. In addition, the ASU requires disclosure, by segment, of other items included in the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss, including qualitative information describing the
composition, nature and type of each item. The ASU also expands disclosure requirements related to the CODM, including how the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss are used to assess segment performance and allocate resources, the method used to allocate overhead for significant segment expenses and others. Lastly, all current required annual segment reporting disclosures under Topic 280 are now effective for interim periods. The ASU was effective for the Company's 2024 fiscal year and interim periods beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements, other than the updated segment disclosures included within Note 15, "Segment Information".
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” This ASU enhances income tax disclosures by providing information to better assess how an entity's operations, related tax risks, tax planning and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. This ASU requires additional disclosures to the annual effective tax rate reconciliation including specific categories and further disaggregated reconciling items that meet the quantitative threshold. Additionally, the ASU requires disclosures relating to income tax expense and payments made to federal, state, local and foreign jurisdictions. This ASU was effective for the Company's 2025 fiscal year end. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements, other than the tax disclosures included with Note 9, "Income Taxes".
Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-03, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” This ASU improves disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and addresses requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses commonly presented in expense captions. Coupled with recent standards that enhanced the disaggregation of revenue and income tax information, the disaggregated expense information required by the amendments in this ASU will enable investors to better understand the major components of an entity’s income statement. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU.
In September 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-06, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targets Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software." This ASU removes all references to software development "project stages." Instead, capitalization begins when the following conditions are met: management has authorized funding the software project, it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used for its intended function. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and for interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU.
New Regulations
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain businesses. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. The implementation of OBBBA resulted in an expected cash tax savings of approximately $3.0 million for the Company's 2025 fiscal year end.

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.
