Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Segment Reporting
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280). This ASU requires annual and interim disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss as well as the amount and composition of other segment items. The Company adopted this standard prospectively on January 1, 2024. See Note 21 – Reportable Segments.
Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances transparency by requiring additional disaggregated information in the effective tax-rate reconciliation and detailed disclosures of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The new guidance is intended to provide investors with more decision-useful information regarding the Company’s income tax profile. The Company adopted this standard prospectively on January 1, 2025, in accordance with its required effective date. Adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations, as the amendments primarily affect disclosure requirements rather than recognition or measurement. The Company’s 2025 financial statements now include expanded income tax-related disclosures, including additional detail within the rate reconciliation and disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction, consistent with the new FASB guidance.

Disaggregated Income Statement Expense
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which enhances transparency by requiring public entities to disclose additional detail about the nature of expenses within income statement line items. The standard is intended to improve consistency and comparability of expense classification and disaggregation across entities. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard and does not expect adoption to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
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.
