In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). This update is intended to improve disclosures about public entity’s expenses and will require more detailed information about types of expenses including inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and depletion in commonly presented captions such as cost of sales, SG&A and research and development. In addition, an entity will be required to include certain amounts that are already disclosed under U.S. GAAP in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements; disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in expense captions not separately disaggregated quantitatively; and, disclose the amount of selling expense and, in annual reporting periods, the entity’s definition of selling expenses. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted.

In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. This update is intended to address challenges encountered when applying the guidance of Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses to accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this update provide all entities with a practical expedient and entities other than public entities with an accounting policy election when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606. Under Topic 326, in developing reasonable and supportable forecasts of expected credit losses, an entity is required to consider historical credit loss experience of financial assets with similar risks characteristics which generally provides a basis for an entity's assessment of credit losses, but also requires the entity to consider adjustments to that information to reflect the extent to which the entity expects current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts to differ from the conditions that existed for the period over which historical information was evaluated. The update allows entities to elect a practical expedient that assumes
that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset.

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.
