 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and we will adopt this ASU in the fourth quarter of 2025. Prospective or retrospective application is permitted. We expect to adopt Update No. 2023-09 prospectively. As this accounting standard update impacts disclosures only, we do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.In November 2024, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2024-03 Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. Update No. 2024-03 aims to improve transparency of expense disclosures to enhance investor understanding of an entity's performance and to assist in comparing an entity's performance over time and with that of other entities. Update No. 2024-03 modifies the disclosures over certain costs and expenses and requires entities to disclose (1) the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depletion, included in each relevant expense caption, (2) within the same disclosure, certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current GAAP, (3) a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively and (4) the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. The amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Update No. 2024-03 allows for early adoption and requires either prospective adoption to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date, or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently assessing the impact of Update No. 2024-03 to our consolidated financial statement disclosures.In September 2025, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2025-06 Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). Update No. 2025-06 modernizes the accounting for software costs by removing all references to a sequential software development method, requiring entities to begin capitalizing software costs when (1) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and (2) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used for its intended purpose. The amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and
