Standard to be Adopted

Description

Date Effective

ASU 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures

The ASU requires additional disclosures on significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss (collectively referred to as the “significant expense principle”). The ASU also requires additional disclosures of an amount for other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition.

October 1, 2024

ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.

The ASU requires disclosure of additional details about the reporting entity's reconciliation of the effective tax rate to the statutory rate for federal, state, and foreign income taxes. The ASU also requires further disaggregation of income tax amounts paid by federal, state and foreign, as well as by material jurisdiction.

October 1, 2025

Standard to be Adopted

Description

Date Effective

SEC Climate Disclosure Rules
Final Rule 33-11275

In March 2024, the SEC adopted the final rule surrounding disclosures of the impacts and risks of climate-related matters that have a material impact on Adient's operations and consolidated financial statements. These disclosures would be required in annual reports and registration statements and would discuss Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions along with other climate-related information such as severe weather events and other natural conditions. In April 2024, the SEC voluntarily stayed the climate disclosure rules pending judicial review. Adient is monitoring the outcome and evaluating the impact of these rules on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

October 1, 2025 (under final rules which are now stayed)

- Definition

Tabular disclosure of the significant judgments and assumptions made in determining whether a variable interest (as defined) held by the entity requires the variable interest entity (VIE) (as defined) to be consolidated and (or) disclose information about its involvement with the VIE, individually or in aggregate (as applicable); the nature of restrictions, if any, on the consolidated VIE's assets and on the settlement of its liabilities reported by an entity in its statement of financial position, including the carrying amounts of such assets and liabilities; the nature of, and changes in, the risks associated with involvement in the VIE; how involvement with the VIE affects the entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; the lack of recourse if creditors (or beneficial interest holders) of the consolidated VIE have no recourse to the general credit of the primary beneficiary (if applicable); the terms of arrangements, giving consideration to both explicit arrangements and implicit variable interests, if any, that could require the entity to provide financial support to the VIE, including events or circumstances that could expose the entity to a loss; the methodology used by the entity for determining whether or not it is the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity; the significant factors considered and judgments made in determining that the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance are shared (as defined); the carrying amounts and classification of assets and liabilities of the VIE included in the statement of financial position; the entity's maximum exposure to loss, if any, as a result of its involvement with the VIE, including how the maximum exposure is determined and significant sources of the entity's exposure to the VIE; a comparison of the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities and the entity's maximum exposure to loss; information about any liquidity arrangements, guarantees, and (or) other commitments by third parties that may affect the fair value or risk of the entity's variable interest in the VIE; whether or not the entity has provided financial support or other support (explicitly or implicitly) to the VIE that it was not previously contractually required to provide or whether the entity intends to provide that support, including the type and amount of the support and the primary reasons for providing the support; and supplemental information the entity determines necessary to provide.
