Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards

 

The Company has reviewed accounting pronouncements issued between the filing date of its most recent Form 10-K, which was December 3, 2025, and the filing date of this Form 10-Q and has determined that no accounting pronouncements issued would have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or disclosures, except as disclosed below.

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which expands disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and requires more enhanced information about a reportable segment’s expenses, interim segment profit or loss, and how a public entity’s chief operating decision maker uses reported segment profit or loss information in assessing segment performance and allocating resources. The Company adopted this standard in its 10-K filing for fiscal year 2025.

 

As of December 31, 2025, the Company operates in one business segment, which is its investment advisory business. The determination of a single business segment is consistent with the financial information regularly provided to the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), and included consideration of factors such as revenue coming from a single source (investment advisory fees generated by the Hennessy Funds) and the Company utilizing the same technology, marketing, sales, and distribution programs to support all of the Hennessy Funds. The key measure of segment profitability that the CODM uses to allocate resources and assess performance is consolidated net income, as reported on the statement of income. The CODM does not regularly review disaggregated expense categories beyond those presented in the accompanying statements of income. The measure of segment assets is reported in the accompanying balance sheets as “Total assets.” Expenditures for long-lived assets are reported as “Purchases of property and equipment” on the statements of cash flows.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires more detailed income tax disclosures. The guidance requires entities to disclose disaggregated information about their effective tax rate reconciliation as well as expanded information on income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is required to adopt this standard prospectively in fiscal year 2026. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption on its 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,” as amended by ASU 2025-01, which requires public business entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. In particular, this amendment requires public business entities to disclose detailed information about specific costs that are presented in commonly referred expense captions, such as general and administrative expenses. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on its financial statements.
