Adoption of New Accounting Standards
Income Taxes. ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, was issued in December 2023. ASU 2023-09 amends the guidance in ASC 740, Income Taxes, to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by revising the required rate reconciliation disclosures and requiring disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. As amended, the rate reconciliation disclosure must be presented in both percentages and reporting currency amounts, with consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information. The ASU also includes changes intended to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures and eliminate certain existing disclosure requirements related to uncertain tax positions and unrecognized deferred tax liabilities. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and should be applied prospectively. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 in the fourth quarter of 2025 and has included the relevant disclosures in Note 14. Income Taxes.
Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted
Expense Disaggregation. ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, was issued in November 2024. ASU 2024-03 does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; however, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements for each interim and annual period. The amendments require disclosure of the amounts of (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities included in each relevant expense caption. The amendments also require disclosure of certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current guidance in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements, a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, and the total amount of selling expenses as well as, in annual reporting periods, the entity's definition of selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of the update or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the amendments to identify potential impacts to the Company's Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and processes.
Internal-Use Software. ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, was issued in September 2025. ASU 2025-06 modernizes the accounting for internal-use software costs by eliminating the prescriptive "project stage" model and introducing a principles-based framework that is intended to better reflect current software development practices and consolidate guidance on website development costs into the broader framework for internal-use software. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the amendments to identify potential impacts to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and processes.
There are no other recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted by us that, upon adoption, are expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements or processes.

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.
