Future Adoption of New Accounting Standards
Future Adoption of New Accounting Standards
Income Taxes – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, updating the accounting standards related to income tax disclosures, primarily focused on the disaggregation of income taxes paid and the rate reconciliation table. The standard is to be applied prospectively with an option for retrospective application and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is assessing changes to the income tax-related disclosures resulting from the standard. The adoption of the standard will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition as the standard is disclosure-related only.
Expenses – Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, requiring public business entities to disclose disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items. The disaggregated disclosures are required to be in the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements on an annual and interim basis. The standard is to be applied prospectively, with an option for retrospective application and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is assessing changes to footnote disclosures resulting from the standard. The adoption of the standard will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition as the standard is disclosure-related only.
Financial Instruments – Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which allows all entities to apply a practical expedient when estimating expected credit losses that assumes current conditions as of the balance sheet date will remain unchanged over the asset’s remaining life. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of the standard will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
Intangibles – Internal-Use Software
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, to clarify and modernize the accounting treatment for internal-use software costs by eliminating the use of the sequential software development project stages method and provide further guidance on when an entity is required to start capitalizing eligible costs. Under the new guidance, capitalization begins when both of the following occur: (a) management, with the relevant authority, implicitly or explicitly authorizes and commits to funding a computer software project and (b) it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The Company can elect prospective, retrospective, or modified retrospective adoption. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those
years. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
