| New Accounting Standards | New Accounting Standards Implementation of New Accounting Standards ASU 2023‑09, Incomes Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures: This standard, which was effective on January 1, 2025 for CMS Energy and Consumers, requires expanded annual disclosures of the income taxes, including a more detailed reconciliation of the effective tax rate and disaggregated information on federal and state income taxes. The standard also requires disclosure of significant reconciling items and qualitative information about state and local jurisdictions contributing to income tax expense. The adoption of the new standard did not impact CMS Energy’s or Consumers’ liquidity, financial condition, or results of operations. The expanded disclosures required by this standard are included in Note 13, Income Taxes. New Accounting Standards Not Yet Effective ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses: This standard requires public companies to provide disaggregated information about certain expense categories presented on the income statement. The guidance calls for annual and interim disclosures that separate specified components, such as employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization, within relevant expense line items in the notes to the financial statements. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. CMS Energy and Consumers will adopt the guidance upon the effective date. The standard will not have an impact on CMS Energy’s or Consumers’ consolidated net income, cash flows, or financial position. ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software: This standard updates guidance for capitalizing costs related to internal-use software development. The amendments remove references to the previous “project stage” model and clarify the threshold for when capitalization should begin, focusing on whether completion of the project is probable. The amendments are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The guidance may be applied on a prospective, retrospective, or modified transition basis. Early adoption is permitted. CMS Energy and Consumers are currently evaluating the new standard. |
