Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Income Taxes. In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." This ASU enhances disclosures related to income taxes, including the rate reconciliation and information on income taxes paid. The Company adopted the standard beginning with our annual reporting for fiscal year 2025. The adoption resulted in incremental disclosures. See Note 7 of this report for these disclosures.
Internal-Use Software. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)." The guidance removes all references to project stages throughout ASC 350-40 and clarifies the threshold entities apply to begin capitalizing costs. This guidance requires internal-use software development cost capitalization to begin when both of the following occur: management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and, it is probable the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform its intended function. The guidance is effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2028; early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted this ASU on January 1, 2026, using the prospective transition approach, which applies this guidance to new software costs incurred starting on the adoption date. The adoption will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses." This ASU requires disclosing disaggregated information about certain income statement expense captions but does not change the presentation of expense information or expense captions reported on the face of the income statement. This ASU is effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2027 and interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2028; early adoption is permitted. The Company is assessing the impact of this ASU and upon adoption may be required to include certain additional 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.
