Western New England Bancorp, Inc. New Standards Disclosure

Recent Accounting Pronouncements.

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280), which expands segment disclosure requirements for public entities to require disclosure of significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis. It also requires companies to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. This ASU, as amended, became effective for the Company in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 (see Note 18 – Segment) and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In addition, this ASU, as amended, was effective for interim periods beginning in 2025 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740), which requires entities to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. On an annual basis, entities must disclose: (1) the amount of income taxes paid, net of refunds, disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign; and (2) the amount of income taxes paid, net of refunds, disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid, net of refunds received, for amounts equal to or greater than 5% of total income taxes paid. Further, the amendments also require entities to disclose: (1) income or loss from continued operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign sources; and (2) income or loss from continued operations disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign sources. This ASU, as amended, became effective for the Company in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 (see Note 14 – Income Taxes) and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures – Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (Subtopic 220-40). ASU 2024-03 requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. ASU 2024-03 requires new financial statement disclosures in tabular form, disaggregating information about prescribed categories underlying any relevant income statement expense caption. The prescribed categories include, among other things, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. Additionally, entities must disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. This ASU is effective for the Company, on a prospective basis, for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
