Portillo's Inc. New Standards Disclosure
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative, which amends the disclosure or presentation requirements related to various subtopics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”). The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. If, by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the applicable requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, the pending content of the related amendment will be removed from the Codification and will not become effective for any entity. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this ASU.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 "Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures-Clarifying the Effective Date", which amends the effective date of ASU 2024-03 to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this ASU.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which updates the cost capitalization threshold for internal-use software development costs by removing all references to software project development stages and providing new guidance on how to evaluate whether the probable-to-complete recognition threshold has been met. ASU 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this ASU.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270), which clarifies existing interim reporting guidance under U.S. GAAP. The ASU clarifies the scope and application of interim reporting requirements, the form and content of interim financial statements and disclosures, and consolidates required interim disclosures within Topic 270. The ASU also introduces a principle requiring disclosure of material events occurring after annual reporting period but before the issuance of interim financial statements. The amendments do not change underlying interim reporting requirements but improve clarity and consistency. ASU 2025-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2028, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this ASU.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, Codification Improvements, which makes technical corrections and clarifications for a broad range of topics within the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to improve clarity and consistency in the application of existing guidance. The improvements are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or result in significant costs to most entities. ASU 2025-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this ASU.

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.
