NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
The disclosures in this note apply to all Registrants unless indicated otherwise.

Management reviews the FASB’s standard-setting process and the SEC’s rulemaking activity to determine the relevance, if any, to the Registrants’ business. The following standards/rules will impact the Registrants’ financial statements.

SEC Climate Disclosure Rule

In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules that would require registrants to disclose certain climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports. Litigation challenging the new rules was filed by multiple parties in multiple jurisdictions, which have been consolidated and assigned to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. In March 2025, the SEC announced that it voted to end its defense of the final climate disclosure rules. In April 2025, 18 states filed a motion to intervene in the case and to hold the case in abeyance until the SEC takes action to amend or rescind the rules. In July 2025, the SEC filed a status report stating that it does not intend to review or reconsider the rules and asked the Court of Appeals to make a ruling on the case. In September 2025, the Court of Appeals issued an order holding the case in abeyance until the SEC either formally defends the rules or initiates a new rulemaking process for reconsideration.

ASU 2024-03 “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures” (ASU 2024-03)

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, the intent of which is to improve financial reporting and respond to investor input by requiring public business entities to disclose additional information about certain expenses in the notes to financial statements in interim and annual reporting periods. Among other provisions, the new standard requires disclosure of disaggregated amounts for expenses such as employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization included in each expense caption presented on the face of the income statement. Public business entities are required to include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under GAAP in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements as well as a qualitative description of any amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. The new standard also requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. An entity is not precluded from providing additional voluntary disclosures that may provide investors with additional decision-useful information.

The amendments in the new standard are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in the new standard should be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Management is evaluating the new standard and has not yet determined when, or the method by which, the Registrants will adopt its amendments.

ASU 2025-06 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software” (ASU 2025-06)

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, the intent of which is to modernize the cost capitalization threshold for internal-use software development costs by removing all references to software project development stages and providing new guidance on how to evaluate whether the probable-to-complete recognition threshold has been met for the commencement of capitalization of eligible costs.

The amendments in the new standard may be applied on either a retrospective, prospective or modified prospective basis for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 with early adoption permitted. Management elected to early adopt this standard prospectively beginning on January 1, 2026. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the results of operations, statements of financial position or cash flows.
