New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements - Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC's Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. The amendments in this update modify the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of Topics in the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") in response to the SEC’s Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative, and align the ASC’s requirements with the SEC’s regulations. For entities within the scope, the guidance will be applied prospectively with the effective date for each amendment to be the date on which the SEC's removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. If the SEC has not removed the related disclosure from its regulations by June 30, 2027, the amendments will be removed from the Codification and will not become effective. We are currently assessing what impact this guidance will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in this update expand disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and requires more enhanced information about a reportable segment’s significant expenses, interim segment profit or loss, and a description of how a public entity’s chief operating decision maker uses reported segment profit or loss information in assessing segment performance and allocating resources. The amendments clarify that a single reportable segment entity must apply ASC 280 in its entirety. The update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. This ASU is applicable to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and subsequent interim periods, with early application permitted. We are currently assessing the effect of this update on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this update expand disclosures in an entity’s income tax rate reconciliation table and regarding cash taxes paid information. The update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and is applicable to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year December 31, 2025, with early application permitted. We are currently assessing the effect of this update on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
