Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures that requires disaggregated income tax disclosures for specific categories on the effective tax rate reconciliation, and additional information about federal, state, local and foreign income taxes. The standard also requires annual disclosure of income taxes paid (net of refunds received), disaggregated by jurisdiction. This guidance is effective for fiscal year end December 31, 2025. The standard was applied on a retrospective basis. The Company has adopted this standard as disclosed in Note 12 Income Tax.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expense
On November 4, 2024 the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expense (DISE) that requires an entity to disclose in the footnote a tabular format that disaggregates relevant expense captions in to the following natural expense categories: purchase of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization and depreciation, depletion and amortization or other amounts of depletion expense. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The requirements will be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts at this time.
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.
