Change in Accounting Method

 

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company changed its accounting method related to the recognition of actuarial gains and losses for the Company’s pension and postretirement benefit plans (the “Accounting change”). Prior to the Accounting change, actuarial gains and losses were recognized as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) upon annual remeasurement and were amortized into earnings in future periods when they exceeded the accounting corridor, a defined range within which amortization of net gains and losses is not required. Under the Accounting change, the accounting corridor of 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation and plan assets was modified to add full, immediate recognition above a second 20% threshold. Although the decision to make the Accounting change occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, the actual accounting method change was applied to all calculations for fiscal year end 2023, and retroactively applied to all other amounts presented in this Form 10-Q.

 

Under the new accounting method, actuarial gains and losses are recognized in net periodic benefit cost through a modified mark-to-market (expense) benefit upon annual remeasurement in the fourth quarter, or on an interim basis as triggering events warrant remeasurement. The method for recognizing prior service credits (charges) as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and amortized into earnings in future periods did not change. With respect to the recognition of actuarial gains and losses, while the historical principle was acceptable, the Company believes the Accounting change is preferable as it better aligns with fair value principles by recognizing the effects of economic and interest rate changes in plan assets and liabilities in the year in which the gains and losses are incurred to the degree such accumulated gains and losses exceed the new 20% threshold in addition to amortizing the amounts between the 10% and 20% thresholds over time. The Accounting change has been applied retrospectively to prior years and amounts presented.

 

See Notes G, K, M and P for further information regarding the impact of the Accounting change on the Company’s current and prior consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

 

In March 2020 and January 2021, the FASB issued guidance (ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01, respectively), intended to provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or by another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The amendments in this guidance are effective beginning on March 12, 2020, and the Company may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance (ASU 2016-13) and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance under ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05 and ASU 2019-10 (collectively ASC 326). ASC 326 requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. This replaces the existing incurred loss model with an expected loss model and requires the use of forward-looking information to calculate credit loss estimates. The amendments in this guidance are effective for filers, excluding smaller reporting companies, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 (the Company’s fiscal 2024), with early adoption permitted for certain amendments. ASC 326 must be adopted by applying a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Reporting Status [Policy Text Block]

Special Note Regarding Smaller Reporting Company Status

 

Under SEC Release 33-10513; 34-83550, Amendments to Smaller Reporting Company Definition, the Company qualifies as a smaller reporting company and accordingly, it has scaled some of its disclosures of financial and non-financial information in this quarterly report. The Company will continue to determine whether to provide additional scaled disclosures of financial or non-financial information in future quarterly reports, annual reports and/or proxy statements if it remains a smaller reporting company under SEC rules.
