New Accounting Pronouncements:

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, to update reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and information used to assess segment performance. This update will be effective for our fiscal year 2025 annual reporting and subsequent interim periods.  We are currently assessing the impact this new accounting guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to income tax disclosures, which aims to improve disclosures and presentation requirements to the transparency of the income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The amendments will be effective for our fiscal year 2026, with the option to early adopt at any time prior to the effective date.  We are currently assessing the impact this new accounting guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires companies to disclose disaggregated information about any relevant expense caption presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations into the following required natural expense categories, as applicable: (1) purchases of inventory, (2) employee compensation, (3) depreciation, (4) intangible asset amortization, and (5) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities or other depletion expenses. This update will be effective for our fiscal year 2028 annual reporting. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact this new accounting guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
