RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Disclosure Improvements. In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance to modify the disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of topics in the codification. Among other updates, amendments specific to the Company include updates to disclosure requirements related to derivative instruments, diluted earnings per share, commitments, and amounts and terms of unused lines of credit. The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. The Company will monitor updates to the regulations as they become effective and adjust its disclosures as needed in future filings.
Disaggregation of Disclosures About Income Statement Expenses. In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance which will require public companies to provide disclosure in the footnotes of certain expense captions into specified categories. The objective of the standard is to provide more detailed information about the types of expenses presented within expense captions commonly used in the statements of income. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements and related disclosures.
Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity. In May 2025, the FASB issued guidance to revise current guidance for determining the accounting acquirer for a transaction effected primarily by exchanging equity interests in which the legal acquiree is a VIE that meets the definition of a business. The amendments require that an entity consider the same factors that are currently required for determining which entity is the accounting acquirer in other acquisition transactions. Previously, the accounting acquirer in such transactions was always the primary beneficiary. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements and related disclosures.
Financial Instruments—Credit Losses. In July 2025, the FASB issued new guidance amending the manner in which credit losses for accounts receivable and contract assets are determined. For public companies, the guidance introduces a practical expedient for estimating expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets. Under this expedient, entities may assume that conditions existing at the balance sheet date will persist for the remaining life of the asset, which simplifies the estimation process by eliminating the need to forecast future economic conditions for these short-term assets. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements and related disclosures.
Software costs. In September 2025, the FASB issued new guidance amending the accounting for and disclosure of software costs. The amendments update the framework for recognizing and disclosing costs related to software developed for internal use, including costs associated with website development. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial statements and related disclosures.
Hedge accounting. In November 2025, the FASB issued new guidance that updates several aspects of hedge accounting under ASC 815. The amendments address how companies assess risk for cash flow hedges, account for hedges of forecasted interest payments on choose-your-rate debt, apply hedge accounting to nonfinancial forecasted transactions, use net written options as hedging instruments, and manage dual hedges involving foreign-currency-denominated debt. These changes are designed to better align hedge accounting practices with the actual risk management strategies used by companies. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim reporting periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial statements and related disclosures.
Interim accounting. In December 2025, the FASB issued new guidance which updates ASC 270 to make interim reporting requirements clearer and easier to follow. The guidance clarifies the required format and content of interim reports, provides comprehensive lists of interim disclosures required by other Codification topics, and establishes that entities must disclose any material events occurring after the last annual reporting period. These changes are intended to improve clarity and consistency, without fundamentally altering the nature or scope of interim reporting requirements. The guidance is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial statements and related disclosures.
Codification Improvements. In December 2025, the FASB issued new guidance related to its continuing agenda to make improvements to the Codification. The purpose of the new guidance is to cover “a broad range of Topics arising from technical corrections, unintended application of the Codification, clarifications, and other minor improvements.” The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial statements and related disclosures.
RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Business Combinations—Joint Venture Formations. In August 2023, the FASB issued guidance to address the accounting for contributions made to a joint venture, upon formation, in a joint venture’s separate financial statements. The guidance was issued in an effort to reduce diversity in practice and requires a joint venture to initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value on the formation date. This guidance became effective prospectively for all joint ventures within the scope of the standard that were formed on or after January 1, 2025. Existing joint ventures have the option to apply the guidance retrospectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.
Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures through improvements in rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. Among other provisions, this guidance requires public entities to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation, using both percentages and reporting currency amounts, and present cash taxes paid on a disaggregated basis. This guidance became effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company has elected to prospectively adopt the new guidance. The adoption of this guidance only affected disclosures within Note 8— Income Taxes.

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.
