Ryerson Holding Corp New Standards Disclosure
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Issued Accounting Standards–Adopted
In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740)”. The amendments in this update require public businesses to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. This update also requires further disclosures of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions as well as by the individual jurisdiction in which income taxes are paid if the amount paid is equal to or greater than five percent of total income taxes paid. Further, this update requires a disclosure of income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense disaggregated between domestic and foreign and income tax expense or benefit disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign. The Company adopted this guidance for the year ended December 31, 2025 on a prospective basis. The adoption of these changes did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements, other than disclosure requirements which are included in Note 17: Income Taxes.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards–Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” and in January 2025 issued an update through ASU 2025-01. The amendment requires disclosure in the notes to the financial statements of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The categories required to be disclosed under the amendment include: purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization, as well as a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not disaggregated quantitatively. Additionally, disclosure is required of the total amount of selling expenses and the entity's definition of selling expenses in the annual reporting periods only. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendment may be applied on either a retrospective or prospective basis. We are assessing the impact of adoption, but do not expect this guidance to materially impact the consolidated financial statements, other than enhanced disclosures.
In September 2025, FASB issued ASU 2025-06, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software”. The amendment changes certain aspects of the accounting and disclosure of software costs. Under the amendment, companies will no longer use the concept of "development stages" in determining the relevant software costs to be capitalized. Software costs will be capitalizable if management, implicitly or explicitly, authorizes and commits to funding a software project and the probable-to-complete threshold is met. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and early adoption is permitted. These amendments can be applied prospectively to new software costs incurred as of the beginning of the adoption period for all projects, prospectively to new software costs incurred only for projects that meet the new capitalization requirements, or retrospectively by recasting comparative periods and recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings of the first period presented. We are assessing the impact of adoption, but do not expect this guidance to materially impact the 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.
