New accounting guidance and regulatory items
On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, to require disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the notes of the financial statements. The standard is effective for FMC beginning with the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2027 and early adoption is permitted. The guidance is required to be applied prospectively and amendments in the ASU may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impacts this standard will have on our disclosures.
On March 6, 2024, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors, which will require registrants to provide certain climate-related information in their registration statements and periodic reports. The required disclosures will include, but are not limited to, specific disclosures about climate-related risks and their actual or likely material impacts on the registrant’s business, strategy, and outlook; the governance of climate-related risks and relevant risk management processes; Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, if material or included in announced emission targets; certain climate-related financial statement metrics and related disclosures in a note to the audited financial statements; and information about climate-related targets and goals. The rules are effective on a rolling basis for various fiscal years, beginning for the Company with annual reports for the year ending December 31, 2025. However, in response to various legal challenges, the SEC voluntarily stayed the rules on April 4, 2024, which may impact the ultimate effective date of the rules. We will continue to monitor any developments on these rules and expected timing for compliance.
On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Income Taxes, to improve the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The standard requires companies to disclose a tabular effective rate reconciliation with certain reconciling items broken out by nature and/or jurisdiction as well as more robust disclosures of income taxes paid, specifically broken out between federal, state and foreign. The standard can be applied prospectively or retrospectively and early adoption is permitted. The ASU is effective for FMC beginning with the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. We are currently evaluating the impacts this standard will have on our income tax disclosures.
Recently adopted accounting guidance
On November 27, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, to improve the disclosures about a public entity's reportable segments and expenses. The standard requires disclosure of the chief operating decision maker's (the "CODM") title and position as well as the measures of segment profit and loss reviewed by the CODM. Companies with multiple reportable segments as well as companies with a single reportable segment are required to adopt the standard and it should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The ASU is effective for FMC beginning with the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and, as such, we have adopted the new disclosure requirements in this Form 10-K. See Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements for the required disclosures.
On December 20, 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (the "OECD") released Pillar Two Model Rules defining the global minimum tax, which calls for the taxation of large corporations at a minimum rate of 15%. The OECD continues to release additional guidance on the two-pillar framework. Pillar Two legislation has been enacted in certain jurisdictions in which the Company operates, which became effective for the Company’s financial year beginning January 1, 2024. The 2024 impacts of Pillar Two legislation were not material. We are continuing to evaluate the potential impact on future periods of the Pillar Two Framework, pending legislative adoption by individual countries.
In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-04, Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations. In accordance with the new disclosure requirements, which we have adopted beginning January 1, 2023, we have included information regarding our key program terms and the amount outstanding that remains unpaid at period end as further described below. The roll forward disclosure requirement became effective beginning with this Form 10-K and the required disclosure is included below.
We work with suppliers to optimize payment terms and conditions on accounts payable to improve working capital and cash flows. We offer to a select group of suppliers a voluntary Supply Chain Finance (“SCF”) program with a global financial institution. The suppliers, at their sole discretion, may sell their receivables to the financial institution based on terms negotiated between them. Our obligations to our suppliers are not impacted by our suppliers’ decisions to sell under these arrangements. Obligations outstanding under this program are recorded within "Accounts payable, trade and other" in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and the associated payments are included in operating activities within our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Our payment terms with our suppliers are consistent, regardless of whether a supplier participates in the program. We deem these terms to be commercially reasonable and consistent with the range of industry standards within their respective regions. Under the terms of the agreement, we do not pledge assets as security or make any other forms of guarantees.
FMC's outstanding obligations confirmed as valid under the SCF was $227.4 million and $71.9 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
