Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2024

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of and during the reporting period. The Company bases estimates and assumptions on historical experience when available and on various factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company assesses estimates on an ongoing basis; however, actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected within these consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, prepaid and accrued research and development expenses, including those related to contract research organizations (“CROs”), contract manufacturing organizations (“CMOs”) and other third-party vendors, the valuation of the Company’s common stock prior to the Company’s IPO in October 2024 and stock-based awards and the valuation of the preferred stock tranche right liabilities. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known.

Concentration of Credit Risk and of Significant Suppliers

Concentration of credit risk and of significant suppliers

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. The Company deposits its cash and cash equivalents in financial institutions in amounts that may exceed federally insured limits, and has not experienced any losses on such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships. The Company’s short-term investments consist of U.S. treasury bills and U.S. government agency bonds which the Company believes represent minimal credit risk.

The Company is dependent on third-party manufacturers to supply products for research and development activities related to verekitug, including preclinical and clinical studies and testing. In particular, the Company relies and expects to continue to rely on a small number of manufacturers for the supply of verekitug. The Company’s preclinical and clinical studies and testing could be adversely affected by a significant interruption in the supply.

Foreign Currency Gains and Losses

Foreign currency gains and losses

The functional currency and the reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. Adjustments that arise from exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included as foreign exchange gains and

losses in other expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company has not recognized material foreign currency transaction gains or losses during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments, with an original maturity of three months or less, to be cash equivalents, and as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, includes amounts held in money market funds in the amount of $321.0 million and $23.3 million, respectively and in U.S. treasury bills of $4.2 million and $0, respectively.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash

Restricted cash consisted of a letter of credit totaling $0.2 million as of December 31, 2024, that is required to be maintained in connection with the Company's lease arrangements. The letter of credit is in the name of the Company's landlord and is required to fulfill lease requirements in the event the Company should default on its lease obligations. As of December 31, 2024, the Company classified its restricted cash as non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheet based on the release date of the restriction. The Company did not hold a letter of credit as of December 31, 2023.

Short-Term Investments

Short-term investments

Available-for-sale securities consist of investments with original maturities greater than 90 days at acquisition date. The Company classifies any investments with maturities beyond one year as short term, based on their highly liquid nature and because such available-for-sale securities represent the investment of cash that is available for current operations.

The Company’s debt security investments are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ deficit. Realized gains and losses and declines in fair value due to credit-related factors are based on the specific identification method and are included as other expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company recorded interest income on available-for-sale investments of $12.1 million and $4.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which is classified as interest income in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position to determine whether the unrealized loss or any potential credit losses should be recognized in other expense, net. The Company evaluates whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. The Company also evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, the Company considers the severity of the impairment, any changes in interest rates, changes to the underlying credit ratings and forecasted recovery, among other factors. The credit-related portion of unrealized losses, and any subsequent improvements, are recorded in other expense, net. The portion that is not credit-related is treated in accordance with other unrealized losses as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ deficit. There have been no impairment or credit losses recognized during any of the periods presented.

Deferred Offering Costs

Deferred offering costs

The Company capitalizes certain legal, professional accounting and other third-party fees that are directly associated with in-process equity financings as deferred offering costs until such financings are consummated. After consummation of the equity financing, these costs are recorded as a reduction of the proceeds from the offering, either as a reduction of the carrying value of the Preferred Stock or in stockholders’ deficit as a reduction of additional paid-in-capital generated as a result of the offering. Should the planned equity financing be abandoned, the deferred offering costs will be expensed immediately as a charge to operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company did not have any deferred offering costs as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements

Certain assets and liabilities of the Company are carried at fair value under U.S. GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used

to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:

Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

The carrying values of the Company’s prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. The Company’s cash equivalents, short-term investments and preferred stock tranche right liabilities are carried at fair value (Note 3).

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment

The Company records property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense is recognized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each asset, as follows:


		Estimated Useful Life
Computer equipment		3 years
Office equipment		5 years
Leasehold improvements		Shorter of remaining lease term or estimated useful life

Estimated useful lives are periodically assessed to determine if changes are appropriate. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of the lease term or its estimated economic useful life. Lease terms are based upon the initial lease agreement and do not consider potential renewals or extensions until such time that the renewals or extensions are contracted. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets are expensed as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost of these assets and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are eliminated from the consolidated balance sheets and any resulting gains or losses are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the period of disposal. Costs for capital assets not yet placed into service are capitalized as construction-in-progress and depreciated once placed into service.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Factors that the Company considers in deciding when to perform an impairment review include significant underperformance of the business in relation to expectations, significant negative industry or economic trends and significant changes or planned changes in the use of the assets. If an impairment review is performed to evaluate a long-lived asset group for recoverability, the Company compares forecasts of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the long-lived asset group to its carrying value. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of an asset group are less than its carrying amount. The impairment loss would be based on the excess of the carrying value of the impaired asset group over its fair value. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not record any impairment losses on long-lived assets.

Operating leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease, as defined by ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASC 842”), at the lease inception date by evaluating whether the arrangement conveys the right to use an identified asset and whether the Company obtains substantially all of the economic benefits from and has the ability to direct the use of the asset. If an arrangement is determined to be or contain a lease, the lease is assessed for classification as either an operating or finance lease at the lease commencement date, defined as the date on which the leased asset is made available for use by the Company, based on the economic characteristics of the lease.

ASC 842 includes certain practical expedients that can be elected for new leases that are executed after the adoption of the new requirements. The Company elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components. The Company also elected to apply the short-term lease recognition exemption which eliminates the requirement to present on the consolidated balance sheets leases with a term of 12 months or less. These two practical expedients were elected for all classes of underlying assets.

At the lease commencement date, the Company recognizes a lease liability and a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset representing its right to use the underlying asset over the lease term. The initial measurement of the lease liability is calculated as the present value of the future lease payments in the contract and the ROU asset is measured as the lease liability plus initial direct costs and prepaid lease payments, less lease incentives granted by the lessor. The subsequent measurement of a lease is dependent on whether the lease is classified as an operating lease or a finance lease. Operating lease cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The Company’s leases require other payments such as costs related to taxes, insurance, maintenance, and other expenses. These costs are generally variable in nature and based on the actual costs incurred and required by the lease. As the Company has elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for all classes of underlying asset, all variable costs associated with the lease are expensed in the period incurred and presented and disclosed as variable lease costs. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive financial covenants.

ASC 842 requires that a lessee use the rate implicit in the lease when measuring the lease liability and ROU asset. If the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the Company is permitted to use its incremental borrowing rate, which is defined as the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. Since the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate when measuring its leases. The incremental borrowing rate is calculated by considering the Company’s credit standing, the lease term and the impact of collateral.

Most leases include options to renew and, or, terminate the lease, which can impact the lease term. The exercise of these options is at the Company’s discretion. Periods covered by an option to extend a lease are not included in the lease term as the Company is not reasonably certain it will exercise this option. Additionally, periods covered by an option to terminate the lease are included in the lease term as it is reasonably certain that the Company will not exercise this option.

Segment Information

Segment information

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s CODM, its Chief Executive Officer, views the Company’s operations and manages its business on a consolidated basis as a single operating segment, which is the business of developing treatments for inflammatory diseases, with an initial focus on severe respiratory disorders. Revenue is generated exclusively from transactions with a related party located in Japan, and all assets are held in the United States (Note 18).

Classification and Accretion of Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

Classification and accretion of redeemable convertible preferred stock

The holders of Preferred Stock have certain redemption rights in the event of a deemed liquidation event that, in certain situations, are not solely within the control of the Company and would call for the redemption of the then outstanding Preferred Stock (Note 8). Therefore, the Preferred Stock is classified as mezzanine equity outside of stockholders’ deficit on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company recorded the Preferred Stock at fair value upon issuance, net of tranche right liabilities (Note 8) and associated issuance costs. The Preferred Stock is not currently redeemable, and a deemed liquidation event is not currently probable. As such, the carrying values of the Preferred Stock are not being accreted to the redemption values. Subsequent adjustments to the carrying values of the Preferred Stock would be made only when a deemed liquidation event becomes probable. In connection with the IPO, all outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock converted into an aggregate of 33,321,149 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Preferred Stock Tranche Right Liabilities

Preferred stock tranche right liabilities

The purchase agreements for the Company’s Preferred Stock provide the Company an obligation to issue additional Preferred Stock in subsequent closings upon the satisfaction of certain conditions (the “preferred stock tranche rights”) (Note 8).

The Company classified such preferred stock tranche rights as liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets (the “preferred stock tranche right liabilities”) as each preferred stock tranche right was determined to be a freestanding financial instrument that may require the Company to transfer assets to settle its obligation upon events outside of its control. The preferred stock tranche right liabilities were initially recorded at fair value upon the issuance date and are subsequently remeasured to fair value at each reporting date and immediately prior to being settled. Changes in fair value of the preferred stock tranche right liabilities are recognized as a component of other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Upon settlement of the tranche rights, the Company derecognized the related liability, and stopped recognizing changes in the fair value of the preferred stock tranche right liability. Any issuance costs allocated to the preferred stock tranche right liabilities were immediately expensed.

Revenue recognition

The Company enters into license arrangements, pursuant to which it may provide research and development services for third parties.

To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (“ASC 606”), the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determine whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measure the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognize revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies each performance obligation. At contract inception, the Company assesses whether the goods or services promised within each contract are a separate performance obligation. Goods and services that are determined not to be distinct are combined with other promised goods and services until a distinct bundle is identified. The Company then allocates the transaction price, the amount of consideration the Company expects to be entitled to from a customer in exchange for the promised goods or services, to each performance obligation and recognizes the associated revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.

In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized, the Company uses judgment to determine: (a) the number of performance obligations; (b) the transaction price; (c) the stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation identified in the contract; and (d) the contract term and pattern of satisfaction of the performance obligations. The Company uses judgment to determine whether milestones or other variable consideration should be included in the transaction price. The transaction price is allocated to the identified performance obligations on a relative stand-alone selling price basis, for which the Company recognizes revenue as or when the performance obligations under the contract are satisfied. At contract inception, the Company estimates the total costs required to satisfy the performance obligation and subsequently updates the estimate at each reporting period. Accordingly, the Company’s estimates may change in the future and those changes could result in a change in amounts of revenue recognized and could be material.

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company generated revenue from a research and development arrangement with Maruho Co., Ltd (“Maruho”), a related party, which is accounted for under ASC 606. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company provides to Maruho research and development services related to verekitug in Japan, and Maruho reimburses the Company for these costs incurred in performing the research and development services (Note 15).

The Company records accounts receivable when its right to receive consideration is solely based on the passage of time. Amounts received prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria are recorded as deferred revenue in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Amounts expected to be recognized as revenue within one year following the balance sheet date are classified as current deferred revenue. Amounts not expected to be recognized as revenue within one year following the balance sheet date are classified as deferred revenue, net of current portion. Payment terms and conditions generally require payment within 60 days of invoicing.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses include salaries and benefits, stock-based compensation expense, licensed technology, external costs of third-party vendors that conduct research and development activity on behalf of the Company, and other operational costs related to the Company’s research and development activities including costs related to a research and development arrangement with Maruho.

Prepaid and Accrued Research and Development Expenses

Prepaid and accrued research and development expenses

The Company recognizes research and development expense and records accruals for estimated costs of research and development activities conducted by third-party service providers, which include CROs that conduct research, preclinical studies and clinical trials on the Company’s behalf, including in connection with the Company’s research and development arrangement, and CMOs that manufacture the Company’s product candidate for use in preclinical and clinical trials. The majority of the Company’s service providers invoice in arrears for services performed, on a pre-determined schedule or when contractual milestones are met; however, some require advanced payments. The Company makes estimates of the accrued expenses and includes these costs in accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and within research and development expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss based on facts and circumstances known to the Company at that time. These costs are a significant component of the Company’s research and development expenses.

The Company accrues for these costs based on factors such as estimates of the amount of work completed through discussions with internal personnel and external service providers as to the progress or stage of completion of the services and in accordance with agreements established with its third-party service providers for such services. The Company makes significant judgments and estimates in determining the accrued research and development liabilities balance at each reporting period. As actual costs become known, the Company adjusts its accrued estimates. To date, there have been no material adjustments to the Company’s estimates of accrued research and development expenses. The Company records advance payments to service providers as prepaid expenses and other current assets, which are expensed as the contracted services are performed. If the actual timing of the performance of services varies from the estimate, then the Company adjusts the amount of the accrued expense or the prepaid expense accordingly.

Asset acquisition and acquired in-process research and development expenses

The Company accounts for acquisitions of assets or a group of assets as asset acquisitions when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired are concentrated in a single asset or group of assets or when the definition of a business is not met. The Company accounts for asset acquisitions based on the cost to acquire the asset or group of assets, which include certain transaction costs. In an asset acquisition, the cost to acquire is allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values as of the acquisition date. No goodwill is recorded in an asset acquisition. Assets that are acquired in an asset acquisition for use in research and development activities that have an alternative future use are capitalized as in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) assets. Acquired IPR&D that has no alternative future use as of the acquisition date is recognized as acquired research and development expense as of the acquisition date.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits, including stock-based compensation expense; professional fees for legal, accounting, auditing, tax and consulting services; travel expenses; and facility-related expenses, which include expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities and other operating costs. The Company expenses all general and administrative expenses as incurred.

Patent and Trademarks

Patent and trademarks

Costs to secure, defend and maintain patents, including those in connection with filing and prosecuting patent applications are expensed as incurred due to the uncertainty about the recovery of the expenditure. Amounts incurred are classified as general and administrative expenses.

Stock-based Compensation Expense

Stock-based compensation expense

The Company measures all stock-based awards granted to employees, directors, and non-employee service providers based on fair value on the date of the grant, and recognizes the resulting fair value over the requisite service period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options granted. The Company has elected to recognize stock-based compensation expense for service-based stock options with graded vesting on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The Company recognizes expense related to stock options that contain performance conditions only when it is considered probable that the performance condition will be achieved. Stock-based compensation expense for stock options with performance conditions is recognized using graded vesting. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

The Company classifies stock-based compensation expense in its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the same manner in which the award recipient’s payroll costs are classified or in which the award recipient’s service payments are classified.

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss

Comprehensive loss is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from nonowner sources, including unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities held as available for sale. For the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, comprehensive loss includes net loss and unrealized gains (losses) on short-term investments.

Net Loss Per Share

Net loss per share

The Company calculated basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders in conformity with the two-class method required for companies with participating securities. The Company’s Preferred Stock is considered to be a participating security as the holders are entitled to receive dividends at a dividend rate payable in preference and priority to the holders of common stock. The two-class method determines net loss per share for each class of common and participating securities according to dividends declared or accumulated and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The two-class method requires income available to common stockholders for the period to be allocated between common and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period has been distributed. There is no allocation required under the two-class method during periods of loss since the participating securities do not have a contractual obligation to share in the losses of the Company.

Under the two-class method, basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by (i) adjusting net loss attributable to common stockholders to reallocate undistributed earnings based on the potential impact of dilutive securities and (ii) dividing the diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, including potential dilutive common shares. For purposes of this calculation, Preferred Stock and stock options to purchase common stock are considered potential dilutive common shares.

The Company has generated a net loss for each of the periods presented. Accordingly, basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders are the same because the inclusion of the potentially dilutive securities would be anti-dilutive.

Income Taxes

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company assesses the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent it believes, based upon the weight of available evidence, that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is established through a charge to income tax expense. Potential for recovery of deferred tax assets is evaluated by estimating the future taxable profits expected and considering prudent and feasible tax planning strategies.

The Company utilizes a two-step approach to recognize and measure uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon tax authority examination, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

Recently Adopted/Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. All disclosure requirements under ASU 2023-07 are also required for public entities with a single reportable segment. ASU 2023-07 is effective for public business entities with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 as of the required effective date, and applied the guidance retrospectively to all periods presented, and its adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. See Note 18, Segment Reporting, for further information and disclosures.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. The Company qualifies as an ‘‘emerging growth company,’’ as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, and has elected not to ‘‘opt out’’ of the extended transition related to complying with new or revised accounting standards, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public and non-public companies, the Company can adopt the new or revised standard at the time non-public companies adopt the new or revised standard and can do so until such time that the Company either (i) irrevocably elects to ‘‘opt out’’ of such extended transition period or (ii) no longer qualifies as an emerging growth company. The Company may choose to early adopt any new or revised accounting standards whenever such early adoption is permitted for non-public companies.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 requires entities to disclose additional information in specified categories with respect to the reconciliation of the effective tax rate to the statutory rate (the rate reconciliation) for federal, state, and foreign income taxes. It also requires greater detail about individual reconciling items in the rate reconciliation to the extent the impact of those items exceeds a specified threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5% of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income or loss by the applicable statutory income tax rate). In addition to new disclosures associated with the rate reconciliation, ASU 2023-09 requires information pertaining to taxes paid (net of refunds received) to be disaggregated for federal, state, and foreign taxes and further disaggregated for specific jurisdictions to the extent the related amounts exceed a quantitative threshold. The amendments are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. For entities other than public business entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the timing and impact of adopting ASU 2023-09 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued an ASU to require more detailed information about specified categories of expenses (purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion) included in certain expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments may be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or (2) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
