Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding interim financial reporting and include the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany balances and transactions. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024, filed on March 25, 2024. There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described in the annual report that have had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.
The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2024 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, and cash flows for the interim periods but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for the full fiscal year ending January 31, 2025 or any other period.
New Accounting Pronouncements Issued and Not Yet Adopted
Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This new standard is effective for our fiscal year beginning on February 1, 2024 and interim periods beginning on February 1, 2025 on a retrospective basis. We are currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on our disclosures.
Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction, among other amendments. This new standard is effective for our fiscal year beginning on February 1, 2025 on a prospective basis and retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on our disclosures.
