Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract] | |
New and Recently Adopted Accounting Standards | During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, there were no accounting standards and interpretations issued which are expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, operations or cash flows. In March 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted final rules that will require certain climate related disclosures. Certain disclosures will be required in a footnote to the audited financial statements beginning in fiscal year 2025. The audited financial statement disclosures include capitalized costs and expenses related to severe weather events and other natural conditions subject to certain materiality thresholds. Beginning in annual disclosures for fiscal year 2026, certain greenhouse gas emission disclosures will also be required. In April 2024, the SEC issued a stay on the rules until legal challenges to the rule are addressed. U. S. Steel is monitoring the legal challenges and assessing the impact of the rules on its disclosures. In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09). ASU 2023-09 includes requirements that an entity disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation, provide additional information for reconciling items that are greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income (or loss) by the applicable statutory income tax rate, and income taxes paid by jurisdiction that are greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid. The standard also requires that entities disclose income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) and income tax expense (or benefit) each disaggregated between domestic and foreign. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. U. S. Steel is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2023-09 on its disclosures. In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07). ASU 2023-07 includes requirements that an entity disclose the title of the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and on an interim and annual basis, significant segment expenses and the composition of other segment items for each segment's reported profit. The standard also permits disclosure of additional measures of segment profit. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. U. S. Steel is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2023-07 on its disclosures. In September 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2022-04, Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations (ASU 2022-04). ASU 2022-04 requires that an entity disclose certain information about supplier finance programs used in connection with the purchase of goods and services. ASU 2022-04 is effective for all entities with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the amendment on annual roll-forward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. U. S. Steel adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2023, with the exception of the amendment on roll-forward information, which will be adopted in our fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2024. The Company has a SCF arrangement with a third-party administrator which allows participating suppliers, at their sole discretion, to make offers to sell payment obligations of the Company prior to their scheduled due dates at a discounted price to a participating financial institution. The third-party administrator entered into a separate agreement with the Export Import Bank of the United States to guarantee 90 percent of supplier obligations sold for up to $200 million. No guarantees or collateral are provided by the Company or any of its subsidiaries under the SCF program, and the Company does not benefit from any preferential payment terms or discounts as a result of supplier participation. The Company’s goal is to capture overall supplier savings and improve working capital efficiency. 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 the suppliers’ receivables and no direct financial relationship with the financial institution 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. The SCF program requires the Company to pay the third-party administrator the stated amount of the confirmed participating supplier invoices. The payment terms for confirmed invoices range from 75 to 90 days after the end of the month in which the invoice was issued. The underlying costs from suppliers that elected to participate in the SCF program are generally recorded in cost of sales in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Amounts due to suppliers who participate in the SCF program are reflected in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and payments on the obligations by our suppliers are included in cash used in operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. As of March 31, 2024, accounts payable and accrued expenses included $63 million of outstanding payment obligations which suppliers elected to sell to participating financial institutions. In October 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2021-08, Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2021-08). ASU 2021-08 requires that an entity recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2021-08 is effective for public companies with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption of all amendments in the same period permitted. U. S. Steel adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2023, and will apply it to any future business combinations
