Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract. The accounting standard excludes from the scope of Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, certain contracts that are not traded on an exchange that include underlyings based on the operations or activities of one of the parties to the contract. The guidance also clarifies that an entity receiving share-based noncash consideration from a customer for the transfer of goods or services in a revenue contract is required to apply the noncash consideration guidance in Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, unless and until the entity’s right to receive or retain the share-based noncash consideration is unconditional under Topic 606. We early adopted ASU 2025-07 on a prospective basis. The impact of adoption of this standard on our consolidated financial statements, including accounting policies, processes, and systems, was not material.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments, which clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. We early adopted ASU 2024-04 on a prospective basis. The impact of adoption of this standard on our consolidated financial statements, including accounting policies, processes, and systems, was not material.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities to provide greater disaggregation within their annual rate reconciliation, including new requirements to present reconciling items on a gross basis in specified categories, disclose both percentages and dollar amounts, and disaggregate individual reconciling items by jurisdiction and nature when the effect of the items meet a quantitative threshold. The guidance also requires disaggregating the annual disclosure of income taxes paid, net of refunds received, by federal (national), state, and foreign taxes, with separate presentation of individual jurisdictions that meet a quantitative threshold. Effective January 1, 2025, we adopted ASU 2023-09 on a prospective basis. The impact of adoption of this standard to our accounting policies, processes, and systems was not material. Refer to Note 12 of these consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants by Business Entities. The accounting standard establishes authoritative guidance on the recognition, measurement and presentation of government grants received by business entities. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2028. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The guidance is applied on a modified prospective, a modified retrospective, or a retrospective transition approach. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which clarifies and modernizes the accounting for costs related to internal-use software. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The guidance is applied on a prospective transition approach, a modified transition approach, or a retrospective transition approach. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires public entities to provide a disclosure within the financial statement footnotes showing the disaggregation of certain expenses included in relevant expense captions on the consolidated income statement, with a qualitative description of the amounts that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. The guidance also requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The guidance is applied on a prospective basis, with a retrospective option, and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

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.
