Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements – Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). The standard replaced the incurred loss impairment methodology under current U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires the use of a forward-looking expected credit loss model for accounts receivables, loans, and other financial instruments. The standard requires a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The new standard was effective for non-public companies, and public business entities that meet the definition of a smaller reporting company as defined by the SEC, for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures – Segment Reporting (Topic 280). The amendments to this standard require public entities to disclose more detailed information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses on an interim and annual basis. The amendments to this standard do not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates those operating segments, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The amendments to this standard apply to all public entities that are required to report segment information in accordance with Topic 280, Segment Reporting and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this guidance for the year ending December 31, 2024 and subsequent interim periods. See Note 17. Segment Reporting for the new disclosures required by the standard.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures - Income Taxes (Topic 740). The amendments to this standard enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily related to rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information as well as effectiveness of overall income tax disclosures. The new standard is effective for non-public companies, and public business entities that meet the definition of a smaller reporting company as defined by the SEC, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, although early adoption is permitted. The Company currently plans to adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2025. The adoption of the standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income: Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). This update requires entities to provide more detailed disclosures about the components of significant expense categories, enhancing the transparency and decision usefulness of financial statements. The amendments in this update are intended to provide investors with additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The updated standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods thereafter, although early adoption is permitted.
While we anticipate that the adoption of this standard will require additional disclosures, the Company is currently assessing the impact of the amendment to this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
