2. Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2022-04, "Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50)." The amendments in this update require that a buyer in a supplier finance program disclose in each annual reporting period: (i) the key terms of the program, including a description of the payment terms and assets pledged as security or other forms of guarantees provided for the committed payment to the finance provider and (ii) the amount outstanding that remains unpaid by the buyer as of year-end, a description of where those obligations are presented in the balance sheet and a rollforward of those obligations during the annual period. The standard was effective January 1, 2023, except for the amendment on rollforward information, which was effective January 1, 2024. The Registrants have adopted this standard, which did not result in a material impact on their financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280) Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures." The amendments in this update improve financial reporting by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Registrants are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on their financial statements.

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." The amendments in this update require public entities on an annual basis to (i) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (ii) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Further, the amendments require entities to disclose on an annual basis income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal (national), state and foreign taxes and to disaggregate the information by jurisdiction based on a quantitative threshold. The standard is effective January 1, 2025, and early adoption is permitted. The Registrants are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on their financial statements.

The Registrants believe that other recently adopted and recently issued accounting standards that are not yet effective do not appear to have a material impact on the Registrants' financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.
