Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740). The new standard updates disclosure requirements for Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740 primarily by requiring additional information in the income tax rate reconciliation and additional disclosures about income taxes paid. Recursion adopted the standard in the fourth quarter of 2025. Recursion has adopted the standard using the prospective approach and included the required disclosures in our notes to the financial statements for income taxes (See Note 12, “Income Tax”). The adoption of the amendments in ASU 2023-09 impacted the Company's disclosures in the
notes to the consolidated financial statements and did not have a material impact on its Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Operations or Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832). The new standard adds guidance to ASC 832 on the recognition, measurement, and presentation of government grants.

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.
