Adoption of New Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which requires expanded income tax disclosures, including greater disaggregation of information in the effective tax rate reconciliation and of income taxes paid. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are effective for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this ASU on a prospective basis beginning with the year ended December 31, 2025. Refer to Note 12 Income Taxes for additional information. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows as the guidance only requires additional disclosures.
Accounting Standards Issued Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires entities to disclose specified information about certain costs and expenses, including amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statement disclosures.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient permitting an entity to assume that conditions as of the balance sheet date remain unchanged over the life of the asset when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets. ASU 2025-05 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. Entities should apply the new guidance prospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
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, which amends certain aspects of the accounting for, and disclosure of, internal-use software costs under ASC 350-40, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software. ASU 2025-06 is intended to simplify and modernize the accounting for internal-use software costs by removing all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages under Subtopic 350-40. The amendments in ASU 2025-06 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The guidance can be applied prospectively, retrospectively or under a modified transition approach. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities, which establishes guidance on the recognition, measurement, and presentation of government grants received by business entities. The amendments in ASU 2025-10 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The guidance can be applied under a modified prospective approach, a modified retrospective approach, or a full retrospective approach. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and 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.
