Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Beginning with our 2025 annual reporting, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" that was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). This standard enhances disclosures related to income taxes, including the rate reconciliation and information on income taxes paid. Upon adoption, the guidance was applied prospectively to the current period presented in the financial statements. For additional information, see Note 6 — Income Taxes.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (ASU 2024-03). The new guidance requires disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items on an annual and interim basis. This guidance will be effective for annual periods beginning the year ended December 31, 2027 and for interim periods thereafter. The new standard permits early adoption and can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. We are evaluating the effect that this guidance will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (ASU 2025-06). The new guidance eliminates the requirement to classify software development costs by project stage, instead, entities now capitalize internal-use software costs when management has both authorized and committed funding for the project and it is probable the software will be completed and used as intended. This guidance will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted and the standard may be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or using a modified approach. We are evaluating the effect that this guidance will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
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.
