In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new guidance that amends certain aspects of the accounting and disclosure requirements for internal-use software costs. The amendments in the guidance remove all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages, and also provide criteria for when an entity is required to start capitalizing software costs. The guidance is effective for our annual periods beginning in 2028 and interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The guidance can be applied using a prospective transition, modified transition or retrospective transition approach. We are currently evaluating the potential impact that this new guidance will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued new guidance on disaggregation of income statement expenses. The guidance requires entities to disaggregate any relevant expense caption presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations into the following required natural expense categories: (1) purchases of inventory, (2) employee compensation, (3) depreciation, (4) intangible asset amortization, and (5) depreciation, depletion and amortization recognized as part of oil-and gas-producing activities or other types of depletion expenses. Such disclosures must be made on an annual and interim basis in a tabular format in the footnotes to the financial statements. The guidance does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement. The guidance also provides clarification regarding identifying relevant expense captions. Furthermore, certain other expenses and gains or losses that must be disclosed under existing U.S. GAAP, and that are recorded in a relevant expense caption, must be presented in the same tabular disclosure on an annual, and, when applicable, interim basis. In addition, the guidance requires entities to disclose selling expenses on an annual and interim basis. The guidance does not define selling expenses, rather, entities will make their own determination of the composition of selling expenses and disclose the definition on an annual basis. The guidance is effective for our annual periods beginning in 2027 and interim periods beginning in the first quarter of 2028, with early adoption permitted. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued new guidance that modifies the rules on income tax disclosures. The guidance requires entities to disclose: (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation, (2) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (separated between domestic and foreign) and (3) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (separated by federal, state and foreign). The guidance also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments to international, federal, state and local jurisdictions, among other changes. We adopted this guidance on a retrospective basis for our annual period ending December 31, 2025. We updated our income tax disclosures to comply with the guidance, see Note 4. Income Taxes. The adoption of the guidance did not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
