Transocean Ltd. New Standards Disclosure
Recently adopted accounting standards
Income taxes—Effective for the year ended December 31, 2025, we adopted the accounting standards update that requires significant incremental disclosures intended to enhance the transparency and decision-usefulness of income tax disclosures, particularly with regard to the effective tax rate reconciliation table and income taxes paid. We have provided new disclosures, as required, presented on a prospective basis in our notes to consolidated financial statements. See Note 10—Income Taxes.
Recently issued accounting standards updates not yet adopted
Disaggregated income statement expenses—Effective for the year ending December 31, 2027, we will adopt the accounting standards update that requires, in the notes to consolidated financial statements, disaggregated disclosures of certain categories of expenses that are included in expense line items on the face of the consolidated statements of operations. The disclosures will be required on an annual and interim basis. We will provide the new disclosures, as required, for annual periods beginning with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2027, and subsequently, for interim periods beginning with our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ending March 31, 2028. We continue to evaluate the requirements. Although our adoption will require us to augment certain disclosures in the notes to consolidated financial statements, we do not expect such adoption to have a material effect on our consolidated statements of financial position, operations or cash flows.

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.
