ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” on the topic of income taxes. The standard requires additional disclosure for income taxes. These requirements include: (i) requiring a public entity to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation; (ii) disclosure of additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5% of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income or loss by the applicable statutory income tax rate); (iii) annual disclosure of the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign taxes; (iv) annual disclosure of the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid (net of refunds received) is equal to or greater than 5% of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received); (v) annual disclosure of income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign; and (vi) annual disclosure of income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign. For public entities, the guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company prospectively adopted this guidance in fiscal 2025, requiring updates to the related disclosures, yet with no material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” which requires public business entities, such as the Company, to provide disaggregated disclosure of specific natural expense categories underlying certain income statement expense line items in the notes to the financial statements. The standard identifies five required natural expense categories for disaggregation—employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, inventory expense, and other manufacturing expenses—along with a residual “other” category for remaining amounts within relevant expense captions (e.g., cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses). ASU 2024-03 does not alter the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement but enhances footnote disclosures to improve transparency. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted, and must be applied prospectively, though retrospective application is optional. An update in ASU 2025-01 clarified that interim period disclosures are not required until annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03 on its consolidated financial statements. We expect adoption to necessitate modifications to our financial reporting processes and systems to capture and disclose the required disaggregated expense information in the footnotes. Management anticipates that this will enhance the granularity of expense disclosures but does not expect a material effect on our reported financial position or results of operations. We are reviewing our current expense classification practices and data collection capabilities to ensure compliance with the new requirements upon adoption.

The Company has determined that recently issued accounting standards, other than the above discussed, will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
