3.RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Adoption of new accounting standards

In November 2023, the FASB issued 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments to ASC 280 Segment Reporting introduce new requirements for a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items. We adopted this with effect from January 1, 2024. Refer to Segment Information (note 6) for the prospective impact of the adoption of ASU 2023-07.

In March 2024, the FASB issued 2024-01 Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The FASB issued the amendments in this update to improve generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) by adding illustrative examples to demonstrate how an entity should apply the scope guidance in paragraph 718-10-15-3 to determine whether profits interest and similar awards (“profits interest awards”) should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. These changes do not impact GLNG’s existing accounting policies or financial statements

In March 2024, the FASB issued 2024-02 Codification Improvements—Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements. This update contains amendments to the Codification that remove references to various Concepts Statements (which are non-authoritative US GAAP) and are included in the FASB’s ongoing project to conform, clarify and simplify existing guidance. These changes do not impact GLNG’s existing accounting policies or financial statements.
