Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Donaldson Company, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting prin ciples (GAAP) in the United States (U.S.) and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of earnings, comprehensive income, financial position, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity have been included and a re of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three months ended October 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future periods. The year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet information was derived from the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. For further information, refer to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025.
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and all its majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company’s joint ventures are not majority-owned and are accounted for under the equity method. The Company is party to joint ventures in Advanced Filtration Systems Inc. (AFSI) with a 50% ownership and PT Panata Jaya Mandiri (PTPJM) with a 30% ownership and also holds a 49% stake in Medica S.p.A. (Medica), all of which are considered related parties. The financial impact from the joint ventures and non-controlling interest are not material.
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosures regarding contingent assets and liabilities at period end and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
New Significant Accounting Standards Recently Adopted and Not Yet Adopted | New Significant Accounting Standard Recently Adopted In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions,” which clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair values; it also requires additional disclosures, including the nature and remaining duration of such restrictions. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early application permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2022-03 in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The adoption did not have an impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements or Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In November 2023, FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which improves the segment disclosures to include reportable segment’s expenses. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. This ASU is applicable beginning with annual reporting for the Company’s fiscal 2025 and interim reporting for the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal 2026. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 for its fiscal year ended July 31, 2025 and all interim periods thereafter. New Significant Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted The Company considers the applicability and impact of the FASB’s ASUs issued but not yet adopted. In November 2024, FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” which improves disclosures about a company’s expenses and provides more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. This ASU is applicable to annual reporting for the Company’s fiscal 2028 and interim reporting for the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal 2029. The Company will adopt ASU 2024-03 for the annual reporting period ending July 31, 2028 and for interim reporting periods thereafter. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the ASU on its related disclosures. In December 2023, FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. This ASU is applicable to annual reporting for the Company’s fiscal 2026 and interim reporting for the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal 2027. The Company will adopt ASU 2023-09 for the annual reporting period ending July 31, 2026 and for interim reporting periods thereafter. The Company does not expect adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements or Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and is in the process of evaluating the effects of this guidance on its related disclosures. In October 2023, FASB issued ASU No. 2023-06, "Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC's Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative," which modifies the disclosure or presentation requirements of various FASB topics in the Codification. The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC's removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the ASU on its related disclosures.
Earnings Per Share | Basic net earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares.
