TaskUs, Inc. New Standards Disclosure
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company currently qualifies as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Accordingly, the Company is provided the option to adopt new or revised accounting guidance either (i) within the same periods as those otherwise applicable to non-emerging growth companies or (ii) within the same time periods as private companies. The Company has elected to adopt new or revised accounting guidance within the same time period as private companies. The Company will lose its status as an emerging growth company on December 31, 2026, the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of its initial public offering. As a result, the Company will no longer be entitled to take advantage of specified reduced reporting requirements after that date.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
There were no new accounting pronouncements adopted during the year ended December 31, 2025, that had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This standard improves the transparency of rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The standard also improves the effectiveness and comparability of disclosures by (1) adding disclosures of pretax income (loss) and income tax expense (benefit) and (2) removing disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial or relevant. This ASU will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU will be applied prospectively, with retrospective application permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expense. The amendments in this Update require (1) disclosure of employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization included in each expense caption presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations (“relevant expense captions”); (2) certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current GAAP to be included in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements; (3) a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively; and (4) disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, the Company’s definition of selling expenses. This ASU will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU should be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently reviewing this ASU.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The amendments in this Update simplify the measurement of credit losses by providing a practical expedient which permits an entity, when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and contract assets, to make an election to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date will remain unchanged for the asset's remaining life. This ASU will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU should be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
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. This standard modernizes the accounting for internal-use software by (1) removing the previous stage-based development model, (2) requiring capitalization to begin when management commits to funding and it is probable the project will be completed, and (3) clarifying that the probability threshold is not met if significant development uncertainty exists. The amendments also supersede the separate guidance for website development costs, incorporating those requirements into the internal-use software subtopic. This ASU will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU may be applied on either a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is currently reviewing this ASU.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities. This standard establishes authoritative guidance for the recognition, measurement, and presentation of government grants received by business entities. The amendments require that a government grant not be recognized until (1) it is probable that the entity will comply with the conditions attached to the grant and (2) the grant will be received. The amendment also requires that a grant related to an asset be recognized on the balance sheet as a business entity incurs the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate, either as deferred income or an adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset. This ASU will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim periods within those years, consistent with the timeline for public business entities since the Company will lose emerging growth company status. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU will be applied using either a modified prospective, modified retrospective, or retrospective approach. The Company is currently reviewing this ASU.

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.
