RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In September 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2025-06, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The guidance in this ASU modernizes the accounting for internal-use software by replacing the previous software project development stage guidance with a principles-based capitalization threshold, which focuses on management’s commitment to fund the project and the probability of its completion. The guidance in this ASU is effective for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The update may be adopted using either a prospective, modified prospective, or retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05 that amends ASC 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets for Public Business Entities. The guidance provides a practical expedient that allows public entities to estimate expected credit losses on accounts receivable and contract assets by assuming current economic conditions persist for the remaining life of the asset. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects to adopt the provisions of ASU 2025-05 on January 1, 2026. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
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 requires disclosure of disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items in the notes to the financial statements. The guidance in this ASU is effective for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The update may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The guidance in this ASU expands the disclosure requirements for income taxes by requiring greater disaggregation of information in the income tax rate reconciliation and disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The guidance in this ASU is effective for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects to adopt the provisions of ASU 2023-09 in its Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2025. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
GOODWILL
Goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment on November 30, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. We first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting units is less than their respective carrying value (“Step Zero Analysis”). If the Step Zero Analysis indicates it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting units is less than their respective carrying value, an additional impairment assessment is performed (“Step One Analysis”). As part of our 2024 annual impairment test, we determined that the fair value of our reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values and our goodwill balance was not impaired.
There were no changes in circumstances or events identified in the third quarter of 2025 that would indicate an interim impairment analysis was required for any of our remaining reporting units as of September 30, 2025.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
Accounting guidance on fair value measurements for certain financial assets and liabilities requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
•Level 1 — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2 — Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
•Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions or external inputs from inactive markets.
A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
RIGHT-OF-USE LEASE ASSETS AND LEASE LIABILITIES Our operating leases are included on the consolidated balance sheets as right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities. A right-of-use lease asset represents our right to use an underlying asset over the term of a lease, while a lease liability represents our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Current and noncurrent lease liabilities are recognized on the commencement date at the present value of lease payments, including non-lease components, which consist primarily of common area maintenance and parking charges. Right-of-use lease assets are also recognized on the commencement date as the total lease liability plus prepaid rents. As our leases typically do not provide an implicit rate, we use our fully collateralized incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is influenced by market interest rates, our credit rating, and lease term and as such, may differ for individual leases.
ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES Our allowance for credit losses is computed using a number of factors including our past credit loss experience and our customers' credit ratings, in addition to other customer-specific factors. We have also considered recent trends and developments related to the current macroeconomic environment in determining our ending allowance for credit losses for both accounts receivable and contract assets.
