UPDATE OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

UPDATE OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 of our 2023 Form 10-K. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, there were no significant changes to our significant accounting policies other than the accounting policies adopted or modified as part of our implementation of new or amended accounting guidance, as noted in the following section.

Accounting guidance adopted in fiscal 2024

In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance related to troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) and disclosures regarding write-offs of financing receivables (ASU 2022-02), amending guidance related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments (ASU 2016-13). The update eliminates the requirement to use a discounted cash flow approach to measure the allowance for credit losses for TDRs and instead allows for the use of a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) approach for all loans. Under a CECL approach, the impact of loan modifications and the subsequent performance of modified loans, including defaults, is reflected in the historical loss data used to calculate expected lifetime credit losses. In addition, the update requires new disclosures about modifications granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty in the form of principal forgiveness, interest rate reductions, other-than-insignificant payment delays, term extensions, or a combination of these modifications. The update also requires new disclosures for the financial effects of these modifications and for loan performance in the twelve months following the modification, and also requires disclosure of current period gross charge-offs by year of origination. We adopted this guidance on a prospective basis as of October 1, 2023, which did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. Refer to Note 7 for additional disclosures required by this guidance and changes to our accounting policies as a result of this adoption. See Note 2 of our 2023 Form 10-K for a discussion of our accounting policies related to our nonperforming assets and allowance for credit losses.
