New Accounting Standards

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued guidance that updates reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and information used to assess segment performance on an annual and interim basis. The Company adopted this guidance for its annual period ending September 30, 2025. While the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, the new guidance resulted in increased disclosures on reportable segments in Note 16 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance that requires disaggregation of specific expense categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements on an annual and interim basis. The Company is required to adopt this guidance for its annual period ending September 30, 2028 and all interim periods thereafter on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its disclosures.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance that enhances the transparency of income tax disclosures by expanding annual disclosure requirements related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The Company is required to adopt this guidance for its annual period ending September 30, 2026, which will result in increased disclosures in the Notes to its 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.
