Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of ConsolidationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Consolidated financial statements include accounts and operations of the Company and its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries, and the ownership interest of minority investors is recorded as noncontrolling interest. In accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810, Consolidation, the Company is also required to consolidate any variable interest entities ("VIE") when it is the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE, or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company evaluates its relationships with all VIEs on an ongoing basis. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates—The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates on assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to fair values of assets and liabilities acquired through acquisitions, useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, expected period of consumption of virtual goods, income and indirect taxes, contingent liabilities, evaluation of recoverability of intangible assets and long-lived assets, goodwill impairment, stock-based compensation, fair value of derivatives and other financial instruments. These estimates are inherently subject to judgment and actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Risk and Uncertainties—The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, as a result of the political uncertainty and international conflicts around the world, such as between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East, as well as, friction between the United States and China. As of the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements, the Company’s results of operations have not been materially impacted. However, the future impact of these events remains uncertain as the response to and information related to these events is rapidly evolving. A weakened global economy may negatively impact in-app purchasing decisions and consumer buying decisions across the globe generally, which could adversely affect advertiser activity. The full impact of these events on the global economy and the extent to which these events may impact the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations in the future remains uncertain. The severity of the impact of the political uncertainty and international conflicts around the world on the Company’s business will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the duration and severity of these events and the extent and severity of the impact on the Company’s customers, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. The Company’s future results of operations and liquidity could be adversely impacted by delays in payments of outstanding receivable amounts beyond normal payment terms and uncertain demand.
Revenue from Contracts with CustomersThe Company generates Software Platform and Apps revenue. Software Platform revenue is generated primarily from fees collected from advertisers including advertising networks who use the Software Platform. Apps revenue consists of in-app purchase ("IAP") revenue generated from in-app purchases made by users within the Company’s apps (“Apps”), and in-app advertising ("IAA") revenue generated from third-party advertisers that purchase ad inventory from Apps.
Software Platform Revenue
The vast majority of the Software Platform Revenue is generated through AppDiscovery and MAX, which provide the technology to match advertisers and owners of digital advertising inventory (“Publishers”) via auctions at large scale and microsecond-level speeds. The terms for all mobile advertising arrangements are governed by the Company’s terms and conditions and generally stipulate payment terms of 30 days subsequent to the end of the month. Substantially all of the Company's contracts with customers are fully cancellable at any time or upon a short notice.
The Company’s performance obligation is to provide customers with access to the Software Platform, which facilitates the advertiser’s purchase of ad inventory from Publishers. The Company does not control the ad inventory prior to its transfer to the advertiser, because the Company does not have the substantive ability to direct the use of nor obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the ad inventory. The Company is not primarily responsible for fulfillment. The Company is an agent as it relates to the sale of third-party advertising inventory and presents revenue on a net basis. The transaction price is the product of either the number of completions of agreed upon actions or advertisements displayed and the contractually agreed upon price per advertising unit with the advertiser less consideration paid or payable to Publishers. The Company recognizes Software
Platform Revenue when the agreed upon action is completed or when the ad is displayed to users. The number of advertisements delivered and completions of agreed upon actions is determined at the end of each month, which resolves any uncertainty in the transaction price during the reporting period.
Software Platform Revenue also includes revenue generated from Adjust's measurement and analytics marketing platform that is recognized ratably over the subscription period of generally up to twelve months. Revenue from other services under Software Platform was not material.
Apps Revenue
In-App Purchase Revenue
IAP Revenue includes fees collected from users to purchase virtual goods to enhance their gameplay experience. The identified performance obligation is to provide users with the ability to acquire, use, and hold virtual items over the estimated period of time the virtual items are available to the user or until the virtual item is consumed. Payment is required at the time of purchase, and the purchase price is a fixed amount.
Users make IAPs through the Company’s distribution partners. The transaction price is equal to the gross amount charged to users because the Company is the principal in the transaction. IAP fees are non-refundable. Such payments are initially recorded as deferred revenue. The Company categorizes its virtual goods as either consumable or durable. Consumable virtual goods represent goods that can be consumed by a specific player action in gameplay; accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue from the sale of consumable virtual goods as the goods are consumed. Durable virtual goods represent goods that are accessible to the user over an extended period of time; accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue from the sale of durable virtual goods ratably over the period of time the goods are available to the user, which is generally the estimated average user life (“EAUL”).
The EAUL represents the Company’s best estimate of the expected life of paying users for the applicable game. The EAUL begins when a user makes the first purchase of durable virtual goods and ends when a user is determined to be inactive. The Company determines the EAUL on a game-by-game basis. For a newly launched game with limited playing data, the Company determines its EAUL based on the EAUL of a game with sufficiently similar characteristics.
The Company determines the EAUL on a quarterly basis and applies such calculated EAUL to all bookings in the respective quarter. Determining the EAUL is subjective and requires management’s judgment. Future playing patterns may differ from historical playing patterns, and therefore the EAUL may change in the future. The EAULs are generally between 5 and 10 months.
In-App Advertising Revenue
IAA Revenue is generated by selling ad inventory on the Company's Apps to third-party advertisers. Advertisers purchase ad inventory either through the Software Platform or through third-party advertising networks (“Ad Networks”). Revenue from the sale of ad inventory through Ad Networks is recognized net of the amounts retained by Ad Networks as the Company is unable to determine the gross amount paid by the advertisers to Ad Networks. The Company recognizes revenue when the ad is displayed to users.
The Company presents taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities on a net basis.

Total Revenue$3,283,087 $2,817,058 $2,793,104 
Contract Balances
Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue, which are recorded for payments received in advance of the satisfaction of performance obligations. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $63.6 million and $78.6 million of revenue that was included in deferred revenue as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Unsatisfied Performance Obligations
Substantially all of the Company’s unsatisfied performance obligations relate to contracts with an original expected length of one year or less.
Publisher Bonuses
In the first quarter of 2022, the Company paid or promised to pay a total of $209.6 million in bonuses to publishers consisting primarily of non-recurring bonuses to migrate publishers to MAX, the Company's own in-app mediation platform. The Company accounted for such publisher bonuses as a reduction to revenue since the publishers receiving such bonuses are also customers of the Company.
Cash and Cash Equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of cash on deposit with banks and investments in money market funds with maturities of 90 or less from the date of purchase.
Restricted Cash Equivalents—The Company classifies cash equivalents that are legally or contractually restricted for withdrawal or usage as restricted cash equivalents. Restricted cash equivalents as of December 31, 2021 consisted of investments in certain money market fund of funds held in an escrow account related to the MoPub acquisition, which was closed in January 2022. The Company had no restricted cash equivalents as of December 31, 2023 or 2022.
Non-Marketable Equity Investments—Non-marketable equity securities are investments without readily determinable fair values that are recorded using a measurement alternative measured at cost less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from qualifying observable price changes. An impairment loss is recorded when an event or circumstance indicates a decline in value has occurred. For certain of these securities, the Company has elected to apply the net asset value (NAV) practical expedient. The NAV is the estimated fair value of these investments. See Note 3, Fair Value Measurements for additional information.
Accounts Receivable, net—The Company records accounts receivable at the invoiced amount, net of allowance for potentially uncollectible amounts. The Company reviews accounts receivable periodically and estimates the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience, and other currently available evidence. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the allowance for uncollectible amounts was not material.
Derivatives—The Company accounts for derivative instruments at fair value within its consolidated balance sheets, and the accounting treatment for each derivative is based on its hedge designation. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges are recorded within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows. Changes in the fair value of non-designated derivatives are recorded immediately through earnings. The Company’s policy for classifying cash flows from derivatives is to report the cash flows consistent with the underlying hedged item. See Note 3, Fair Value Measurements for additional information.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments—The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. The three tiers are defined as follows:
Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs of which there is little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Uncertainties—The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with large, reputable financial institutions in amounts which exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits.
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally requires no collateral for its accounts receivable.
No individual customer represented 10% or more of the Company’s accounts receivable as of December 31, 2023. One customer represented 12% of the Company's accounts receivable as of December 31, 2022, which was collected in full during the first quarter of 2023.
The Company also uses various distribution partners to collect payments for IAPs made by users within Apps. No individual distribution partner represented 10% or more of the Company's accounts receivable as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.
No individual customer represented 10% or more of the Company’s revenue during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.
Property and Equipment, net—Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is as follows:
Useful Life
Computer equipment
3-5 years
Software and licenses
3 years
Furniture and fixtures
3-5 years
Leasehold improvements
Over the shorter of useful life (up to 10 years) or lease term
When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations in the period realized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
LeasesLeases consist of real estate property, network and other equipment. The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. Operating and finance lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lease payments consist primarily of the fixed payments under the arrangement, less any lease incentives. The Company generally uses an incremental borrowing rate estimated based on the information available at the lease commencement date or on the date of lease modification, if applicable, to determine the present value of lease payments unless the implicit rate is readily determinable. Operating lease costs are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. Finance lease assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease terms.
The Company accounts for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component of contracts for real estate property leases and does not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less. Generally, the lease term is based on non-cancelable lease term when determining the lease assets and liabilities. The lease terms may include periods under options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Payments under our lease arrangements are primarily fixed, however, certain lease agreements contain variable payments, which are expensed as incurred and not included in the lease right-of-use assets and liabilities. Variable lease payments are primarily comprised of real estate taxes, common area maintenance, and insurance.
Deferred Offering CostsDeferred offering costs, which consist primarily of accounting, legal and other fees directly attributable to the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”), were initially capitalized in other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. After the completion of the IPO, the Company presented deferred offering costs in stockholders’ equity as a reduction of the IPO proceeds.
Segment ReportingThe Company's chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") who manages the business, allocates resources and assesses operating performance based on financial information presented for each of the two operating segments: Software Platform and Apps. Both operating segments are also individual reportable segments. For information regarding reportable segments, see Note 14 - Segments and Geographic Information.
Asset Acquisitions and Business Combinations—The Company performs an initial test to determine whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets transferred are concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, such that the acquisition would not represent a business. If that test suggests that the set of assets and activities is a business, the Company then performs a second test to evaluate whether the assets and activities transferred include inputs and substantive processes that together, significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs, which would constitute a business. If the result of the second test suggests that the acquired assets and activities constitute a business, the Company accounts for the transaction as a business combination.
For transactions accounted for as business combinations, the Company allocates the fair value of acquisition consideration to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value. Acquisition consideration includes the fair value of any promised contingent consideration. The excess of the fair value of acquisition consideration over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Contingent consideration is remeasured to its fair value each reporting period with changes in the fair value of contingent consideration recorded in general and administrative expenses. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates and assumptions in valuing certain identifiable intangible assets include, but are not limited to, forecasted revenue and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable, and as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. In certain circumstances, the allocations of the excess purchase price are based upon preliminary estimates and assumptions and subject to revision when the Company receives final information, including appraisals and other analyses. During the measurement period, which is one year from the acquisition date, the Company may
record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
For transactions accounted for as asset acquisitions, the cost, including certain transaction costs, is allocated to the assets acquired on the basis of relative fair values. The Company generally includes contingent consideration in the cost of the assets acquired only when the uncertainty is resolved. The Company amortizes contingent consideration adjustments to the cost of the acquired assets prospectively using the straight-line method over the remaining useful life of the assets. No goodwill is recognized in asset acquisitions.
Services and Development Agreements—The Company enters into strategic agreements with third-party mobile gaming studios. The Company has historically allowed these studios to continue their operations with a significant degree of autonomy. In some cases, the Company bought Apps from these studios and entered into service and development agreements whereby these studios provide support in improving existing Apps and developing new Apps. The substantial majority of payments associated with service agreements for existing Apps are expensed to research and development when the services are rendered as the payments primarily relate to developing enhancements for the Apps. Payments for new Apps associated with development agreements are generally made in connection with the development of a particular App, and therefore, the Company is subject to development risk prior to the release of the App. Accordingly, payments that are due prior to completion of an App are generally expensed to research and development over the development period as the services are incurred. Payments due after completion of an App are generally capitalized and expensed as cost of revenue. For additional information, see Note 6 - Acquisitions and Dispositions.
Software Development Costs—The Company incurs development costs related to internal-use software and Apps. Development costs meet the criteria for capitalization once the preliminary project stage is complete and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. Software development costs that meet the capitalization criteria were not material for the periods presented.
Goodwill—The Company tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. A qualitative assessment is performed to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the reporting unit does not pass the qualitative assessment, the Company compares the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill, to its fair value. A goodwill impairment loss is recognized for the amount that the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds its fair value, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. No goodwill impairment loss was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.
Intangible Assets—Intangible assets consist primarily of Apps, user base, developed technology, customer relationships and certain intellectual property licenses resulting from acquisitions. Intangible assets are amortized over the period of estimated benefit using the straight-line method. The Company's estimates of useful lives of intangible assets are based on cash flow forecasts which incorporate various assumptions, including forecasted user acquisition costs, user attrition rates and level of user engagement.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets—The Company reviews long-lived assets that are held and used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. If such indicators are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of the asset or asset group by comparing its carrying value to the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If the future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset or asset group, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset or asset group, exceeds its estimated fair value. There were no material impairment charges related to long-lived assets that are held and used for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.
The Company classifies an asset as held for sale when management commits to a formal plan to actively market the asset for sale at a price reasonable in relation to fair value, the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition, an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the sale have been initiated, the sale of the asset and the transfer is expected to be completed within one year and it is unlikely that significant changes will be made to the plan. Upon classification as held for sale, the Company recognizes the asset at the lower of its carrying value or its estimated fair value, less costs to sell. In addition, the Company ceases to record depreciation or amortization for assets that are classified as held for sale. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company classified certain assets within the Apps reportable segment as held for sale and recognized a total impairment charge of $53.0 million, representing the excess of the assets' carrying value over their estimated fair value, less cost to sell, in cost of revenue in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2022, the carrying value of assets held for sale was not material. No assets were classified as held for sale in 2023 or 2021.
Cost of Revenue—Cost of revenue consists primarily of third-party payment processing fees related to IAP Revenue and charged by various distribution partners, amortization of intangible assets related to acquired technology and Apps, amortization of finance lease right-of-use assets related to certain servers and networking equipment and costs for third-party cloud service providers.
Sales and Marketing—Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of user acquisition costs, amortization of acquired customer-related intangible assets, and personnel costs. Advertising costs, which consist primarily of user acquisition costs, are
expensed as incurred. Advertising costs totaled $539.4 million, $665.9 million, and $983.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Research and Development—Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs and third-party costs for development of Apps.
General and Administrative—General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs of the Company’s finance, accounting, legal, human resources, and other administrative functions, third-party professional service costs, provision for expected credit losses, software, facilities costs and other administrative costs.
Stock-Based Compensation—The Company accounts for stock-based compensation based on the fair value of stock-based awards as of the grant date. The Company recognizes the fair value as stock-based compensation expense following the straight-line attribution method over the requisite service period for restricted stock units ("RSUs") and stock options, and over the offering period for purchase rights issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"). Stock-based compensation expense for performance-based RSUs (“PSUs”) with a market condition is recognized ratably on a tranche-by-tranche basis using the accelerated attribution method over the respective derived service period, unless the market condition is satisfied earlier. The Company accounts for forfeitures for all awards as they occur.
The fair value of RSUs is estimated on the date of grant based on the closing price of the Company's publicly traded Class A common stock on the date of grant.
The Company determines the fair value of PSUs with market conditions using the Monte Carlo simulation pricing model. This requires the input of assumptions, including the expected stock volatility, the risk-free interest rate, the expected dividend yield and the discount for post-vesting restrictions, as applicable.
The Company determines the fair value of stock options and purchase rights under the ESPP using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This requires the input of assumptions, including the expected term, the expected stock volatility, the risk-free interest rate, and the expected dividend yield.
For awards that are liability classified, the Company updates the grant date fair value at each reporting period. Liability-classified awards are reclassified to equity upon settlement in shares of the Company’s common stock.
Income Taxes—The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance would be made to reduce the provision for income taxes.
The Company records uncertain tax positions on the basis of a two-step process in which determinations are made (1) whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position; and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more- likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with a tax authority.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Accrued interest and penalties are included on the related tax liability line in the consolidated balance sheets.
Foreign Currency Transactions—Generally, the functional currency of our international subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. In cases where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, the Company translates the financial statements of these subsidiaries to U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date for assets and liabilities, and average exchange rates during the period for revenue and expenses. The Company records translation gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of stockholders’ equity. The Company reflects foreign exchange transaction gains and losses resulting from the conversion of the transaction currency to functional currency as a component of other income (expense), net.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)—Comprehensive income (loss) is composed of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of foreign currency translation adjustments.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders—Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is presented under the two-class method required for participating securities. The Company considers convertible preferred stock, options exercised in exchange for nonrecourse promissory notes, early exercised unvested stock options, unvested restricted stock awards and common stock subject to certain share repurchase agreements to be participating securities. Under the two-class method, the net loss attributable to common stockholders is not allocated to participating securities as the holders of these instruments do not have a contractual obligation to share in the Company’s losses. Net income is attributed to common stockholders and participating securities based on the respective participation rights.
Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders adjusts basic earnings per share for the effect of potentially dilutive impact of securities.
Share RepurchasesThe Company retires its Class A common stock upon repurchase, and records any excess of the cost of the repurchased shares over their par value as a reduction to additional paid-in capital, or in the absence of additional paid-in capital, to accumulated deficit.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Issued and Adopted)In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. The ASU clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The ASU also clarifies that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction and requires specific disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2023 with no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Issued and Not Yet Adopted)—In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. The amendments will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments must be applied retrospectively, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company's disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The amendments will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments may be applied prospectively or retrospectively, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company's disclosures.
