Recently issued accounting standards

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") issued new guidance designed to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant expenses per segment. The guidance is effective for all fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The new standard must be adopted on a retrospective basis and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating this guidance to determine its impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued new guidance designed to improve income tax disclosure requirements, primarily through increased disaggregation disclosures within the effective tax rate reconciliation as well as enhanced disclosures on income taxes paid. The guidance is effective for all fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The new standard can be adopted on a prospective basis with an option for it to be adopted retrospectively and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating this guidance to determine its impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules that require registrants to include certain climate-related disclosures in registration statements and annual reports. The required disclosures include information about a registrant's climate-related risks that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on its business, results of operations or financial condition. The required information about climate-related risks will also include disclosure of a registrant's greenhouse gas emissions and will require registrants to present certain climate-related financial disclosures in their audited financial statements. The rules were to be effective for all fiscal years beginning in 2025. However, following the adoption of the rules, challenges to the rules were brought in six federal appellate courts. These challenges were consolidated for review in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. On April 4, 2024, the SEC announced that it had stayed the rules pending the completion of judicial review of the consolidated Eighth Circuit petitions. We plan to monitor the status of these rules, and, as appropriate, to evaluate the rules to determine their impact on our consolidated financial statements.

From time to time, new accounting guidance is issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies that is adopted by us as of the effective date or, in some cases where early adoption is permitted, in advance of the effective date. We have assessed the recently issued guidance that is not yet effective and, unless otherwise indicated above, believe the new guidance will not have a material impact on the consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
