The ASU expands disclosures in the income tax rate reconciliations table and cash taxes paid.  The Company adopted the ASU effective January 1, 2025.  This accounting standard will increase the tax disclosures in the Company’s annual reporting but will have no impact on reported income tax expense or related tax assets or liabilities.Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted—In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.  The ASU requires disclosure of disaggregated information about certain income statement expenses, including specific expense categories.  The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027.
