RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

NOTE 2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which includes amendments that further enhance income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with the option to early adopt at any time before the effective date. ASU 2023-09 allows for adoption on a prospective or retrospective basis. We will adopt this standard beginning with our fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. We are currently evaluating the impact of the standard on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. ASU 2023-07 will improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced segment expense disclosures on an interim and annual basis. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with the option to early adopt at any time before the effective date. ASU 2023-07 requires adoption on a retrospective basis. We will adopt this standard beginning with our fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 and for interim periods beginning with our first quarter fiscal year 2025. We are currently evaluating the impact of the standard on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2024, the SEC issued SEC Release No. 33-11042, Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors, to enhance and standardize the climate-related disclosures provided by public companies. The final rule will require the disclosure of greenhouse gas emissions, including Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, which will be subject to third-party assurance, as well as climate-related targets and goals, and how the Board of Directors and management oversee climate-related risks. Within the notes to financial statements, the final rule requires disclosure of expenditures recognized, subject to certain thresholds, attributable to severe weather events. The final rule follows a compliance phase-in timeline, with the first requirements required to be adopted with our fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, followed in later years by greenhouse gas-related requirements. On April 4, 2024, the SEC voluntarily stayed the implementation of these disclosure requirements; however, we are currently evaluating the impact of the final rule on our disclosures.
