SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Dec. 28, 2024

The accompanying financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis as the Company is a standalone public company. Prior to the Spin-Off, the Company historically operated as part of Kellanova. Certain information from prior to the Spin-Off was derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Kellanova. These statements reflect the historical results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).

For periods prior to the Spin-Off, the Consolidated Financial Statements are presented as if the Company had been carved out of Kellanova, and included the attribution of certain assets and liabilities that had been held at Kellanova but which are specifically identifiable or attributable to our Business. They include expense allocations for: (1) co-manufacturing, product warehousing and distribution; (2) a combined sales force and management; (3) certain support functions that were provided on a centralized basis within Kellanova, including, but not limited to executive oversight, treasury, finance, internal audit, legal, information technology, human resources, communications, facilities, and compliance; and (4) employee benefits and compensation, including stock based compensation. These expenses were allocated to the Company on the basis of direct usage where identifiable, with the remainder allocated on a basis of gross sales value, production pounds, headcount or other applicable measures. Management believes the assumptions underlying these Consolidated Financial Statements, including the assumptions regarding allocated expenses, reasonably reflect the utilization of services provided to or the benefit received by the Company during the periods presented. Nevertheless, the periods prior to the Spin-Off that are included within the Consolidated Financial Statements may not reflect the results of operations, financial position and cash flows had the Company been a standalone company during the periods presented. Actual costs that the Company may have incurred had it been a standalone company would depend on a number of factors, including its organizational structure, whether functions were outsourced or performed by our employees and strategic decisions made in areas such as manufacturing, selling and marketing, research and development, information technology and infrastructure.

The allocation of expenses from Kellanova to WK Kellogg Co was reflected as follows in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the years-ended December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:


(millions)	2023		2022
Cost of goods sold	$	128	$	172
Selling, general and administrative	233		308
Other (income) expense, net	(43)		106
Total	$	318	$	586

The Consolidated Financial Statements also include $29 million, $102 million and $26 million of separation costs related to the separation from Kellanova for the years-ended December 28, 2024, December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. These were primarily related to legal and consulting costs and transition and Spin-Off related employee costs under the Transition Services Agreement. Prior to the Spin-Off, the Company was allocated a portion of costs incurred by Kellanova to evaluate, plan and execute the Spin-Off. The Company was allocated a pro rata portion of those costs, that they received a benefit from, based on either specific identification, where possible, or a proportional cost method based on gross sales value. Certain separation charges are expected to continue to be incurred through the first half of 2026.

Prior to the Spin-Off, Kellanova used a centralized approach to cash management and financing of operations. The majority of WK Kellogg Co’s businesses were part of Kellanova’s cash pooling arrangements to maximize Kellanova’s availability of cash for general operating and investing purposes. Under these cash pooling arrangements, cash balances were swept regularly from WK Kellogg Co’s accounts. Cash transfers to and from Kellanova’s cash concentration accounts and the resulting balances at the end of each reporting period prior to the Spin-Off are reflected in net parent company investment in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Additionally, prior to the Spin-Off we participated in Kellanova's hedging program which historically used a combination of long-term contracts with suppliers and exchange-traded futures and option contracts to reduce price fluctuations in a desired percentage of forecasted raw material purchases over a duration of generally less than 18 months. The Consolidated Statement of Income reflects a reasonable allocation of the impacts of our participation in Kellanova’s hedging program.

Debt obligations and related financing costs of Kellanova have not been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements of WK Kellogg Co for all periods prior to the Spin-Off, because WK Kellogg Co is not a party to the obligations between Kellanova and the debt holders. The debt obligations and related financing costs of WK Kellogg Co have been described in Note 8 "Debt".

For periods prior to the Spin-Off, our employees participated in Kellanova benefit and stock-based compensation plans. A portion of the cost of those plans related to our employees is included in our Consolidated Financial Statements. However, the Consolidated Balance Sheet does not include any equity issued related to stock-based compensation plans or any net benefit plan obligations unless the benefit plan covers only our dedicated employees or where the entire legal obligation associated with the benefit plan transferred to WK Kellogg Co post-spin. During the third quarter of 2023, in connection with the Spin-Off, certain pension and nonpension postretirement plans that were previously sponsored by Kellanova were divided such that the plans became dedicated to our employees and sponsored by WK Kellogg Co. See Note 10 "Pension and Postretirement Benefits" for further details on the assumption of pension and postretirement assets and liabilities and related costs.

Prior to the Spin-Off, the Company's operations have historically been included in the consolidated U.S. federal, certain state and local tax returns filed by Kellanova. We also filed certain separate U.S. state and local and foreign income tax returns. The Company has calculated its provision for income taxes using a separate return method as if the Company was a separate group of companies under common ownership. Under this method, the Company is assumed to file hypothetical separate returns with the tax authorities, thereby reporting its taxable income or loss and paying the applicable tax to or receiving the appropriate refund from Kellanova. The Company reports deferred taxes on its temporary differences and on any carryforwards that it could claim on its hypothetical returns. Cash tax payments, current and deferred tax balances and unremitted foreign earnings may not be reflective of the Company’s actual tax balances prior to or subsequent to the distribution.

The Company manages its business and reports its operations in one operating and reportable segment, engaged in the manufacturing, marketing and sales of cereal products in North America. Consistent with our operational structure, our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), makes resource allocation and business decisions on a consolidated basis. Our CODM also uses consolidated single-segment financial information for the purpose of evaluating financial performance, allocating resources, setting incentive compensation targets, as well as forecasting future period financial results.

The Company’s fiscal year normally ends on the Saturday closest to December 31 and as a result, a 53rd week is added approximately every sixth year. The Company’s 2024, 2023 and 2022 fiscal years each contained 52 weeks and ended on December 28, 2024, December 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively.

The financial information included in the Consolidated Financial Statements reflects all adjustments, all of which are of a normal and recurring nature, that management believes are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), financial position, equity and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain prior period amounts have been updated to conform to the current period presentation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods reported. The Company's critical estimates include those related to promotional expenditures, retirement benefits, and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and could be impacted from macroeconomic conditions.

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash

Highly liquid investments with remaining stated maturities of three months or less when purchased are considered cash equivalents and recorded at cost. A portion of cash received related to the accounts receivable factoring program is restricted as part of the collateralization agreement.

Accounts receivables

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable consists principally of trade receivables, which are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of allowances for expected credit losses and prompt payment discounts. Trade receivables do not bear interest. The allowance for expected credit losses represents management’s estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in existing accounts receivable, as determined from a review of past due balances, historical loss information, and an evaluation of customer accounts for potential future losses. Account balances are written off against the allowance when management determines the receivable is uncollectible. The allowance for expected credit losses, additions charged to expense and expected credit losses charged to the reserve were immaterial for all periods presented. For the fiscal years-ended 2024 and 2023 the Company did not have off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on an average cost basis.

Property

The Company’s property consists mainly of plants and equipment used for manufacturing activities. These assets are recorded at cost and depreciated over estimated useful lives using straight-line methods for financial reporting and accelerated methods, where permitted, for tax reporting. Major property categories are depreciated over various periods as follows (in years): buildings 10-50; manufacturing machinery and equipment 15-30; vehicles 4-7; office furniture and fixtures 5.

Plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when conditions indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Such conditions include an extended period of idleness or a plan of disposal. Assets to be disposed of at a future date are depreciated over the remaining period of use. Assets to be sold are written down to realizable value at the time the assets are being actively marketed for sale and a sale is expected to occur within one year.

Cloud computing arrangements

The Company defers costs incurred with the implementation of a cloud computing arrangement (“CCA”), consistent with guidance for software developed or obtained for internal use. The deferred implementation costs of cloud computing arrangements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the cloud computing arrangement, ranging from three to five years, in the same line item in the Consolidated Statement of Income as the associated hosting fees. Implementation costs include activities such as integrating, configuring and customizing the related software.

Goodwill and other intangible assets

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles are not amortized, but are evaluated for impairment as part of the Company's annual business planning cycle in the fourth quarter of each year, or when impairment indicators are present. In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company's goodwill and indefinite-life intangible assets were evaluated for potential impairment on a standalone basis.

For goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles, we consider qualitative factors to assess if it is more likely than not that the fair value of these assets is below the carrying value. We may also elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and perform a quantitative assessment.

For qualitative assessments, the Company analyzes a variety of factors that may influence the fair value of the asset, including but not limited to macroeconomic conditions, cost factors, industry and market conditions, holistic financial performance, share price and other relevant factors.

Goodwill

We review our operating segment and reporting unit structure annually or as significant changes in the organization occur and assess goodwill impairment risk throughout the year by performing a qualitative review of entity-specific, industry, market and general economic factors affecting our goodwill. Annually during the fourth quarter, in conjunction with our annual budgeting process, we may perform qualitative testing, or depending on factors such as prior-year test results, current year developments, current risk evaluations and other practical

considerations, we may instead perform a quantitative impairment test.

In our quantitative testing, we compare a reporting unit’s estimated fair value with its carrying value with a reporting unit’s fair value being estimated using market multiples. This approach employs market multiples based on either sales or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for companies that are comparable to ours. In the event the fair value determined using the market multiple approach is close to carrying value, we may supplement the fair value determination using discounted cash flows that incorporates assumptions surrounding planned growth rates, market-based discount rates and estimates of residual value. The assumptions used for the impairment test are consistent with those utilized by a market participant performing similar valuations for our reporting unit. These estimates are made using various inputs including historical data, current and anticipated market conditions, management plans, and market comparables. If the carrying value of our reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we consider the reporting unit impaired and reduce its carrying value of goodwill such that the reporting unit’s new carrying value is the estimated fair value.

Intangible Assets

The Company assesses indefinite-life intangible assets impairment risk throughout the year by performing a qualitative review and assessing events and circumstances that could affect the fair value or carrying value of these intangible assets. In the event a quantitative test is performed, the Company compares an intangible asset’s estimated fair value, determined using a relief from royalty approach, with its carrying value, with the intangible asset’s fair value being determined using estimates of future cash flows to be generated from that asset based on estimates of future sales, as well as assumptions surrounding earnings growth rates, royalty rates and discount rates consistent with rates used by market participants. These estimates are made using various inputs including historical data, current and anticipated market conditions, management plans, and market comparables. If the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value, we consider the asset impaired and reduce its carrying value to the estimated fair value. The Company does not have any definite-life intangible assets.

Supplier Financing Programs

The Company has agreements with third parties to provide accounts payable tracking systems which facilitate participating suppliers’ ability to monitor and, if elected, sell payment obligations from the Company to designated third-party financial institutions. Participating suppliers may, at their sole discretion, make offers to sell one or more payment obligations of the Company prior to their scheduled due dates at a discounted price to participating financial institutions. The Company’s goal is to capture overall supplier savings, in the form of payment terms or vendor funding, and the agreements facilitate the suppliers’ ability to sell payment obligations, while providing them with greater working capital flexibility. The Company has no economic interest in the sale of these suppliers’ receivables and no direct financial relationship with the financial institutions concerning these services. The Company’s obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by suppliers’ decisions to sell amounts under the arrangements. However, the Company’s right to offset balances due from suppliers against payment obligations is restricted by the agreements for those payment obligations that have been sold by suppliers.

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes sales upon delivery of its products to customers. Revenue, which includes shipping and handling charges billed to the customer, is reported net of applicable discounts, returns, allowances, and various government withholding taxes. Methodologies for determining these provisions are dependent on local customer pricing and promotional practices, which range from contractually fixed percentage price reductions to reimbursement based on actual occurrence or performance. Where applicable, future reimbursements are estimated based on a combination of historical patterns and future expectations regarding specific in-market product performance.

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of food products which are sold to retailers through direct sales forces, broker and distributor arrangements. The Company also recognizes revenue from the license of our trademarks granted to third parties who use these trademarks on their merchandise. Revenue from these licenses is not material to the Company.

Contract balances recognized in the current period that are not the result of current period performance are not material to the Company. The Company also does not incur costs to obtain or fulfill contracts.

The Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of significant financing components as the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between the transfer of a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.

The Company accounts for shipping and handling activities that occur before the customer has obtained control of a good as fulfillment activities recorded in cost of goods sold ("COGS") rather than as a promised service.

The Company excludes from the measurement of transaction price all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the Company from a customer for sales taxes.

Performance obligations

The Company recognizes revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of the goods to customers. Control is transferred upon delivery of the goods to the customer. The customer is invoiced with payment terms which are commensurate with the customer’s credit profile. Shipping and/or handling costs that occur before the customer obtains control of the goods are deemed to be fulfillment activities and are accounted for as fulfillment costs.

The Company assesses the goods and services promised in its customers’ purchase orders and identifies a performance obligation for each promise to transfer a good or service (or bundle of goods or services) that is distinct. To identify the performance obligations, the Company considers all the goods or services promised, whether explicitly stated or implied based on customary business practices.

Significant Judgments

The Company offers various forms of trade promotions and the methodologies for determining these provisions are dependent on local customer pricing and promotional practices, which range from contractually fixed percentage price reductions to provisions based on actual occurrence or performance. Where applicable, future provisions are estimated based on a combination of historical patterns and future expectations regarding specific in-market product performance.

The Company's promotional activities are conducted either through the retail trade or directly with consumers and include activities such as in-store displays and events, feature price discounts, consumer coupons, contests and loyalty programs. The costs of these activities are generally recognized at the time the related revenue is recorded, which normally precedes the actual cash expenditure. The recognition of these costs therefore requires management judgment regarding the volume of promotional offers that will be redeemed by either the retail trade or consumer. These estimates are made using various techniques including historical data on performance of similar promotional programs. Differences between estimated expense and actual redemptions are normally immaterial in relation to net sales and recognized as a change in management estimate in a subsequent period.

Advertising and promotion

The Company expenses production costs of advertising the first time the advertising takes place. Advertising expense is classified in selling, general and administrative ("SGA") expense.

The Company also classifies consumer promotional expenditures in SGA expense. These promotional expenses are estimated using various techniques including historical cash expenditure and redemption experience and patterns. Differences between estimated expense and actual redemptions are normally immaterial and recognized as a change in management estimate in a subsequent period. The liability associated with these advertising and promotional activities is recorded in accrued advertising and promotion.

The cost of promotional package inserts is recorded in COGS.

Research and development

The costs of research and development ("R&D") are expensed as incurred and are classified in SGA expense. R&D includes expenditures for new product and process innovation, as well as significant technological improvements to existing processes. The Company’s R&D expenditures primarily consist of internal salaries, wages, consulting, and supplies attributable to time spent on R&D activities. Other costs include depreciation and maintenance of research facilities and equipment, including assets at manufacturing locations that are temporarily engaged in pilot plant activities.

Stock-based compensation

The Company uses stock-based compensation, including restricted stock, restricted stock units, and performance stock units, to provide long-term performance incentives for its workforce.

The Company classifies pre-tax stock compensation expense in SGA expense and COGS within its corporate operations. Expense attributable to awards of equity instruments is recorded in capital in excess of par value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Certain of the Company’s stock-based compensation plans contain provisions that prorate vesting of awards upon retirement, disability, or death of eligible employees and directors. A stock-based award is considered vested for expense attribution purposes when the employee’s retention of the award is no longer contingent on providing subsequent service. Accordingly, the Company recognizes compensation cost immediately for awards granted to retirement-eligible individuals or over the period from the grant date to the date retirement eligibility is achieved, if less than the stated vesting period. Any forfeitures for non-retirement eligible individuals are recognized when incurred.

Income taxes

The Company recognizes uncertain tax positions based on a benefit recognition model. Provided that the tax position is deemed more likely than not of being sustained, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being ultimately realized upon settlement. The tax position is derecognized when it is no longer more likely than not of being sustained. The Company recognizes taxes due under the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) provision as current period expense and income tax-related interest and penalties as interest expense and SGA expense, respectively, on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The current portion of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits is presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in other current assets and other current liabilities, and the amounts expected to be settled after one year are recorded in other assets and other liabilities.

Management monitors the Company’s ability to utilize certain future tax deductions, operating losses and tax credit carryforwards, prior to expiration as well as the reinvestment assertion regarding our undistributed foreign earnings. Changes resulting from management’s assessment will result in impacts to deferred tax assets and the corresponding impacts on the effective income tax rate. Valuation allowances were recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that will, more likely than not, be realized in the future.

Derivatives instruments

Derivative Instruments

The Company uses financial instruments in the management of foreign currency and commodity price risks that are inherent to its business operations. Such instruments are not held or issued for trading purposes.

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency cash flows related primarily to third-party purchases and intercompany transactions. Additionally, the Company is exposed to volatility in the translation of foreign currency denominated earnings to U.S. dollars. The Company assesses foreign currency risk based on transactional cash flows and translational volatility and may enter into forward contracts, options, and currency swaps to reduce fluctuations in long or short currency positions. Forward contracts and options are generally less than 18 months in duration.

Gains and losses representing either hedge ineffectiveness, hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness, or hedges of translational exposure are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income on the same line as the underlying hedged transaction.

Derivative instruments are classified on the Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the contractual maturity of the instrument or the timing of the underlying cash flows of the instrument for derivatives with contractual maturities beyond one year. Any collateral associated with derivative instruments is classified as other assets or other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets depending on whether the counterparty collateral is in an asset or liability position. Margin deposits related to exchange-traded commodities are recorded in accounts receivable, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. On the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, cash flows associated with derivative instruments are classified according to the nature of the underlying hedged item. Cash flows associated with collateral and margin deposits on exchange-traded commodities are classified as investing cash flows when the collateral account is in an asset position and as financing cash flows when the collateral account is in a liability position.

Qualifying derivatives are accounted for as cash flow hedges when the hedged item is a forecasted transaction. Gains and losses on these instruments are recorded in other comprehensive income until the underlying transaction is recorded in earnings. When the hedged item is realized, gains or losses are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") to the Consolidated Statements of Income on the same line item as the underlying hedged transaction.

Qualifying derivatives are accounted for as fair value hedges when the hedged item is a recognized asset, liability, or firm commitment. Gains and losses on these instruments are recorded in earnings, offsetting gains and losses on the hedged item.

Pension benefits, nonpension postretirement and postemployment benefits

The Company sponsors a number of U.S., Canadian and Mexican plans to provide pension, health care, and other welfare benefits to retired employees, as well as salary continuance, severance, and long-term disability to former or inactive employees.

The recognition of benefit expense is based on actuarial assumptions, such as discount rate, long-term rate of compensation increase, and long-term rate of return on plan assets and health care cost trend rate. Service cost is reported in COGS and SGA expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income. All other components of net periodic pension cost are included in other income (expense) ("OIE").

Pension and nonpension postretirement benefits. The Company recognizes actuarial gains and losses in operating results in the year in which they occur. Experience gains and losses are recognized annually as of the measurement date, which is the Company’s fiscal year-end, or when remeasurement is otherwise required under generally accepted accounting principles. The Company uses the fair value of plan assets to calculate the expected return on plan assets.

Postemployment benefits. The Company recognizes an obligation for postemployment benefit plans that vest or accumulate with service. Obligations associated with the Company’s postemployment benefit plans, which are unfunded, are included in other current liabilities and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. All gains and losses are recognized over the average remaining service period of active plan participants. Postemployment benefits that do not vest or accumulate with service or benefits to employees in excess of those specified in the respective plans are expensed as incurred.

Management reviews the Company’s expected long-term rates of return annually; however, the benefit trust investment performance for one particular year does not, by itself, significantly influence this evaluation. The expected rates of return are generally not revised provided these rates fall between the 25th and 75th percentile of expected long-term returns, as determined by the Company’s modeling process.

For defined benefit pension and postretirement plans, the Company records the net overfunded or underfunded position as a pension asset or pension liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Leases

The Company leases certain warehouses, equipment, vehicles, and office space primarily through operating lease agreements. Finance lease obligations and activity are not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Lease obligations are primarily for real estate assets, with the remainder related to manufacturing and distribution related equipment and vehicles. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.

A portion of the Company's real estate leases include future variable rental payments that include inflationary adjustment factors. The future variability of these adjustments is unknown and therefore not included in the minimum lease payments. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The leases have remaining terms which range from less than 1 year to 9 years and the majority of leases provide the Company with the option to exercise one or more renewal terms. The length of the lease term used in recording lease assets and lease liabilities is based on the contractually required lease term adjusted for any options to renew or early terminate the lease that are reasonably certain of being executed.

The Company combines lease and non-lease components together in determining the minimum lease payments for the majority of leases. The Company has elected to not combine lease and non-lease components for assets controlled indirectly through third party service-related agreements that include significant production related costs. The Company has closely analyzed these agreements to ensure any embedded costs related to the securing of the leased asset is properly segregated and accounted for in measuring the lease assets and liabilities.

The majority of the leases do not include a stated interest rate, and therefore the Company's periodic incremental borrowing rate is used to determine the present value of lease payments. This rate is calculated based on a collateralized rate for the specific currencies used in leasing activities and the borrowing ability of the applicable Company legal entity.

Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency translation

Our operations outside of the United States (U.S.) are recorded in the functional currency of each foreign entity which is determined by a review of the environment where each foreign entity primarily generates and expends cash. The results of operations for our foreign entities are translated from functional currencies into U.S. dollars using the weighted average currency rate for the period. Assets and liabilities are translated using the period end exchange rates. The U.S. dollar effects that arise from translating the net assets of these foreign entities are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income.

Accounting standards adopted during the period and Accounting standards to be adopted in future periods

Accounting standards adopted during the period

Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures: The amendments in this update improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments apply to all public entities that are required to report segment information in accordance with Topic 280. All public entities will be required to report segment information in accordance with the new guidance starting in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company adopted this ASU for the year-ended December 28, 2024, and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting standards to be adopted in future periods

Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures: The amendments in this update require that public business entities on an annual basis (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income or loss by the applicable statutory income tax rate). The amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its disclosures.

Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses: In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“DISE”). This standard requires all public entities to provide additional disclosure about the nature of the expenses included in the income statement. The DISE will require disclosure about specific types of expenses included within the expense caption presented on the face of the income statement, as well as, additional disclosure about selling expenses. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company intends to adopt the updated standard for the fiscal year ending January 1, 2028. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its disclosures.
