IMPACT OF RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND LEGISLATIONIn November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”, which expands disclosures for significant segment expenses for all public entities required to report segment information in accordance with ASC 280. ASC 280 requires a public entity to report for each reportable segment a measure of segment profit or loss that its chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) uses to assess segment performance and to make decisions about resource allocations. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted the new ASU effective September 30, 2025. Adoption of this resulted in additional disclosure, but did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements. See Note 13 - Segment Information.
Legislation
On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA"). The OBBBA makes permanent key elements of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including 100% bonus depreciation, domestic research cost expensing, and the business interest expense limitation. ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, requires the effects of changes in tax rates and laws on deferred tax balances to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. The Company concluded that the impact of the OBBBA on fiscal year 2025 consists only changes related to bonus depreciation and the results of such evaluations are reflected within the financial statements for the fiscal year-ended September 30, 2025.
O.IMPACT OF NEWLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Accounting Pronouncements - Issued and Not Effective
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”. ASU 2023-09 is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 address investor requests for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. Early adoption is permitted. A public entity should apply the amendments in ASU 2023-09 prospectively to all annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01 “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards” (“ASU 2024-01”), which clarifies how an entity determines whether a profits interest or similar award is within the scope of Topic 718 or is not a share-based payment arrangement and therefore within the scope of other guidance. ASU 2024-01 provides an illustrative example with multiple fact patterns and also amends certain language in the “Scope” and “Scope Exceptions” sections of Topic 718 to improve its clarity and operability without changing the guidance. Entities can apply the amendments either retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements or prospectively to profits interest and similar awards granted or modified on or after the date of adoption. If prospective application is elected, an entity must disclose the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle. The amendments in ASU 2024-01 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date” (“ASU 2025-01”). ASU 2025-01 outlines the effective date of ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”), as the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption of ASU 2024-03 is permitted. ASU 2024-03 requires both interim and annual disclosures pertaining to expense captions on the face of the income statement within continuing operations containing the following amounts: (i) purchases of inventory, (ii) employee compensation, (iii) depreciation, (iv) intangible asset amortization, and (v) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil and gas-producing activities (or other amounts of depletion expense) included in each relevant expense caption. This disaggregated information will be required to be disclosed with other disaggregated amounts under other U.S. GAAP guidance, such as revenue and income taxes. Additionally, a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively and total
selling expenses and a definition of such costs (in annual reporting periods only) should be disclosed. More granular information about cost of sales and selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SGA”) would assist a reader of the Company's consolidated financial statements in better understanding an entity’s cost structure and forecasting future cash flows. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 should be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of the ASU or (2) retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
