New accounting pronouncements not yet adopted. In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” The standard requires additional disclosure and disaggregation of certain income statement expense line items and may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Partnership plans to adopt the standard when it becomes effective beginning with the fiscal-year 2027 annual financial statements. The Partnership is assessing the impact of this guidance on its disclosures in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

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.
