Schedule of New Accounting Pronouncements
Adient has considered the new standards that are summarized below, each to be effective after fiscal 2026 and each of which is not expected to significantly impact the consolidated financial statements:

Standard to be AdoptedDescriptionDate Effective
ASU 2025-05 Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts
Receivable and Contract Assets (Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326))
The ASU provides a practical expedient and an accounting policy election under which conditions at the period-end date can be assumed to remain unchanged for an asset’s remaining life when estimating credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions under ASC 606 Revenue from contracts with customers. The update is expected to simplify the credit loss assessment when applying Topic 326.October 1, 2026
ASU 2024-03 Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive
Income - Expense: Disaggregation Disclosures
(Subtopic 220-40)
The ASU requires disclosures of specified information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to financial statements at each interim and annual reporting period, including: the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. It also requires disclosures of the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses.October 1, 2027
ASU 2025-06 Intangibles - Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use SoftwareThe ASU amends the timing for capitalizing eligible internal use software costs. Under the new guidance, an entity is required to start capitalizing software costs when both of the following occur: 1) Management has authorized and committed to funding the software project; and 2) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended (referred to as the “probable-to-complete recognition threshold”). The ASU does not change the types of costs eligible for capitalization or the associated amortization and impairment guidance.October 1, 2028
ASU 2026-02 Environmental Credits and Environmental Credit Obligations (Topic 818)The ASU establishes a new Topic 818, which sets out guidance over environmental credits and environmental credit obligations. Under the ASU, an environmental credit (EC) is recognized as an asset if it is probable that it will be used to settle an environmental credit obligation (ECO), be transferred in an exchange transaction or used in a nonreciprocal transfer. An ECO liability is recognized as incurred through earnings or as part of the carrying value of another asset (e.g., inventory). EC assets and ECO liabilities are to be presented on a gross basis on the balance sheet. October 1, 2028
ASU 2025-10 Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business EntitiesThe ASU provides guidance over recognition, measurement and presentation of government grants received by public business entities. Under the ASU, a government grant is recognized when: 1) it is probable all conditions attached to the grant will be complied and the grant will be received; and 2) specific recognition guidance for the grant related to an asset or income is met. The benefit of the grant is in general recognized in earnings in a systematic and rational manner over the period in which the relevant expenses are recognized. October 1, 2029
