Accounting Standards Update ("ASU")

ASU No. 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements – Codification Amendments in Response to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s ("SEC") Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative: On October 9, 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued ASU 2023-06 “Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative,” which incorporates 14 of the 27 disclosures referred by the SEC in Release No. 33-10532, “Disclosure Update and Simplification,” that was issued Aug. 17, 2018. The changes modify the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of topics including statement of cash flows, accounting changes and error corrections, earnings per share, interim reporting, commitments, debt, equity, derivatives and hedging, and secured borrowing and collateral. For entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosure requirements and for entities required to file or furnish financial statements with or to the SEC in preparation for the sale of or for purposes of issuing securities that are not subject to contractual restrictions on transfer, the effective date for each amendment is the date on which the SEC removes that related disclosure from its rules. For all other entities, the amendments will be effective two years later. 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 not become effective for any entity. This ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures: On November 27, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 “Segment Reporting (Topic 820): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosure,” which requires public entities to disclose significant expense categories and amounts for each reportable segment, an amount for and description of the composition of “other segment items,” the title and position of the entity’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (the "CODM") and explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of profit or loss to assess segment performance, and – on an interim basis – certain segment-related disclosures that previously were required only on an annual basis. This ASU clarifies that entities with a single reportable segment are subject to both new and existing segment reporting requirements and that an entity is permitted to disclose multiple measures of segment profit or loss,

provided that certain criteria are met. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Entities must adopt the changes to the segment reporting guidance on a retrospective basis. This ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures: On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” to address requests for improved income tax disclosures from investors, lenders, creditors and other allocators of capital that use the financial statements to make capital allocation decisions. This ASU is intended to improve the transparency of tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction, in addition to certain other amendments intended to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. For public business entities, this ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. For other entities, this ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. This ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

SEC Final Rules Not Yet Adopted

 

The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors: On March 6, 2024, the SEC approved the final rule for these disclosures, requiring registrants to provide information about climate-related risks that materially impact or are reasonably likely to materially impact a registrant's strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. The rule applies to all SEC reporting companies and may significantly increase reporting costs and complexities, including increased data collection and development of significant internal processes and controls. The final rule includes a phased-in compliance period, effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. On March 15, 2024, the U.S. Court of Appeals granted an administrative stay of the climate-related disclosure rules recently adopted by the SEC.
