Accounting Pronouncements to be Adopted

 

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. ASU 2023-07 will affect how we report segment information, starting with our Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2025, and our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q starting with our quarterly report for the quarter ended January 31, 2026. The ASU requires that we provide disclosures of significant segment expenses and other segment items that are regularly provided to our CODM and included in each reported measure of segment profit or loss. We will also have to disclose other segment items by reportable segment (i.e., the difference between reported segment revenues less the significant segment expenses (which are disclosed) less reported segment profit or loss). We will identify the CODM and their position within the company and details about the information that they regularly review to make capital allocation and other operating decisions about each segment, as well as an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures and other disclosures. The information needed for these disclosures is available, but we will need to determine the best way to provide that information for these required segment disclosures.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 entitled Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which is primarily applicable to public companies and requires a significant expansion of the granularity of the income tax rate reconciliation as well as an expansion of other income tax disclosures. The majority of the disclosures will only be made on an annual basis, although there is a modest expansion of required quarterly income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 require disclosure of specific income tax categories in the statutory to effective rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income (or loss) by the applicable statutory income tax rate. There are also additional disclosures related to taxes paid to local jurisdictions, and to income taxes paid. This information is currently available to the Company but was not a required disclosure. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2023-09 on November 1, 2025.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

October 31, 2024 and 2023

 

In March 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2024-01 entitled Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards (ASU 2024-01) to improve GAAP by adding an illustrative example to demonstrate how an entity should apply the scope guidance to determine whether profits interest and similar awards should be accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation–Stock Compensation. While profits interest is not defined in GAAP, those interests are differentiated from capital interests held by investors that provide those holders with rights to the existing net assets in a partnership in a partnership or similar entity. The Company does not expect ASU 2024-01 to have any effect since the Company does not presently issue profits interest awards.

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2024-03 entitled–Reporting Comprehensive Income–Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expense (ASU 2024-03). The FASB issued ASU 24-03 to improve the disclosure about a public business entity’s expense and to address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and depletion) included in commonly presented expense captions (such as cost of sales, SG&A and research and development. This is a disclosure-only standard and the Company expects to adopt ASU 2024-03 on November 1, 2026. There is currently a Proposed Accounting Standards Update that would, if adopted, accelerate the effective date of this standard by one year. If that Proposed standard is adopted, we would expect to adopt ASU 2024-03 on November 1, 2025.
