Significant Accounting Policies
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the Company's most recent annual audited consolidated financial statements. The following accounting policy was applied during the interim period as a result of the LKQ SYNETIQ transaction described in Note 14.
Equity Method Investments
The Company accounts for investments which it does not control, but has the ability to exercise significant influence over, by applying the equity method of accounting pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 323, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures. The Company's share of income and losses of equity method investees and impairment losses are recognized in the consolidated income statements during the period that they are incurred. The Company presents distributions received from equity method investees in the consolidated statements of cash flows based on the cumulative earnings approach. Following the cumulative earnings approach, when cumulative distributions less distributions received in prior periods that were deemed returns of investment are in excess of cumulative equity earnings, such excess is considered a return of investment and classified as cash flows from investing activities. The Company evaluates equity method investments for impairment when events or circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the investment may be impaired. An impairment loss on an equity method investment is recognized as a component of operating income when a decline in its value is determined to be other-than-temporary.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which will require enhanced annual disclosures within rate reconciliations and disaggregated income taxes paid information. The amendments are effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The Company expects to adopt the ASU on a retrospective basis.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which will require disaggregated disclosure of specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements. The amendments are effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2027, and interim periods in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2028.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which provides targeted improvements to ASC 350-40 to increase the operability of the recognition guidance considering different methods of software development. ASU 2025-06 is effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2028, including interim reporting periods within that year.
The Company is evaluating the impact of these pronouncements on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, including the methods of adoption, except as discussed above. ASUs recently issued but not discussed above are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or related disclosures.
