Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
ACCOUNTING POLICIES | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Wesco have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in WESCO International, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on February 14, 2025. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2024 was derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of that date, but does not include all the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2025, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity, and the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, in the opinion of management, have been prepared on the same basis as the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and include all adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented herein. All adjustments reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information are of a normal recurring nature unless indicated. The results for the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Reclassifications The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024, includes certain reclassifications to previously reported amounts to conform to the current period's presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on the totals of operating, investing and financing cash flow activities. In the first quarter of 2025, a portion of the EES reportable segment was moved to the CSS reportable segment as a result of operational realignment. The reportable segment financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2024 has been recast to conform to the current year presentation. The recast does not impact previously reported condensed consolidated results. Refer to Note 14, “Business Segments” for the recasted segment disclosures. Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Disclosure Rules In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which enhances prior reportable segment disclosure requirements in part by requiring entities to disclose significant expenses related to their reportable segments. The amendments in this ASU were effective on a retrospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted the annual disclosure requirements of this ASU in the fourth quarter of 2024 and the interim disclosure requirements in the first quarter of 2025. The adoption of this ASU resulted in additional required disclosures, including the disclosure of certain expenses at the reportable segment level, described further in Note 14, “Business Segments”. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis; however, retrospective application is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact that this accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. 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 is intended to enhance expense disclosures, primarily by requiring disclosure of disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items on an annual and interim basis. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The amendments in this ASU may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. Management is currently evaluating the impact that this accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Other pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative accounting standards groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to be material to Wesco’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
