TRANSCAT INC New Standards Disclosure
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” to expand the disclosure requirements for reportable segments. The standard expands reportable segment disclosure requirements for public business entities primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment operating income. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 in fiscal year 2025. The adoption of this new accounting standard did not have an impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows. See Note 7 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for financial information for these segments.
Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted:
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU expands the income tax disclosure requirements, principally related to the rate reconciliation table and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning in fiscal 2026, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of the ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” which requires public entities to disclose specified information about certain costs and expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning in fiscal 2028, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of the ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement 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.
