Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures

 

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this Update require, among other items, that public entities disclose, on an annual basis, (i) specific categories of income taxes in the rate reconciliation, and (ii) a disaggregation of income taxes paid by federal, state, and foreign taxes.

 

The amendments are required to be applied prospectively with retrospective application permitted. We adopted this ASU on January 1, 2025, and applied the amendments to all prior periods presented in our consolidated financial statements. See “Note 19 – Income Taxes”.

Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Comprehensive income (Topic 220): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The amendments in this Update require, among other items, that public entities disclose, on an annual and interim basis, in tabular format in the footnotes to the financial statements, disaggregated information about specific categories underlying certain income statement expense line items that contain any of the following expense categories (i) purchases of inventory, (ii) employee compensation, (iii) depreciation, (iv) intangible asset amortization, and (v) depletion. Additionally, the amendments require disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses and an annual disclosure of the definition of selling expenses.

 

These amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The disclosures may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are evaluating the effect of the amendments on our notes to consolidated financial statements and expect to disclose the required information for fiscal years beginning in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2027 and for interim periods beginning in the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2028. The impact of the adoption will be limited to disclosure in the notes to consolidated financial statements.

 

Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software

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.

These amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The amendments permit the use of prospective, modified retrospective, or full retrospective transition approaches. We are evaluating the effect of the amendments on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We expect to apply the amendments for interim periods beginning in the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2028 and for fiscal years beginning in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2028.

The amendments permit the use of modified prospective, modified retrospective, or retrospective approaches. We are evaluating the effect of the amendments on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

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.
