Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Segments. On November 27, 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, or ASU No. 2023-07, which requires public entities to: i) provide disclosures of significant segment expenses and other segment items if they are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker, or CODM, and included in each reported measure of segment profit or loss; ii) provide all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets currently required by Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 280, Segment Reporting, or ASC 280, in interim periods; and iii) disclose the CODM’s title and position, as well as an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures and other disclosures. Public entities with a single reportable segment must apply all the disclosure requirements of ASU No. 2023-07, as well as all the existing segment disclosures under ASC 280. The amendments in ASU No. 2023-07 are incremental to the requirements in ASC 280 and 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. We adopted ASU No. 2023-07 effective September 30, 2025, and as a result, we have included additional information related to the required disclosures in Note 16, Segment Reporting.
Income Taxes. On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, or ASU No. 2023-09, which requires public entities to enhance its annual income tax disclosures by requiring: i) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, and ii) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The implementation of this ASU will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and we will apply the requirements of ASU No. 2023-09 for our fiscal year ending September 30, 2026.
Comprehensive Income. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statements Expenses, which requires public entities to disclose specific expense categories such as employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization. These details must be presented in a tabular format in the notes to financial statements for both interim and annual reporting periods. ASU No. 2024-03 is required to be applied prospectively but can be applied retrospectively, and is effective for the first annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU No. 2024-03 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
Derivatives and Hedging. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which clarifies the application of derivative accounting to certain contracts and updates the guidance for share-based noncash consideration received from a customer in exchange for goods and services. Specifically, this ASU stipulates that entities should apply the guidance in Topic 606 to contracts with share-based noncash consideration from a customer unless and until the entity’s right to receive or retain the share-based noncash consideration is unconditional. ASU No. 2025-07 is effective for the first annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods within those first annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU No. 2025-07 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
Internal Use Software. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which requires companies to start capitalizing eligible software costs when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. ASU No. 2025-06 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU No. 2025-06 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
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.
