Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 470): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), which establishes new income tax disclosures to consistently categorize and provide greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, including dollar value and percentage impacts of each component of the reconciliation, as well as further disaggregates income taxes paid. This update is effective for the Company for annual fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company has adopted ASU 2023-09 for the
2025 calendar year prospectively. Because the ASU affects disclosures only, the adoption did not affect the Company’s consolidated statements of operations or consolidated balance sheets.
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2024-03 “Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”), which is intended to improve disclosures about a public business entity's expenses, primarily through additional disaggregation of income statement expenses. The ASU’s amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2024-03 on the consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2025-06 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software” ("ASU 2025-06"), which replaces the stage-based capitalization model for the treatment of development costs of internal-use software with a principles-based framework, reflecting modern software development practices. In addition, ASU 2025-06 requires companies to capitalize software costs once management authorizes and commits to funding with probable completion and use. This guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and for interim periods within annual reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, and allows multiple transition methods, including retrospective, prospective, or modified prospective application, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2025-06 on 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.
