ASU 2025-06 – Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, which modernizes the accounting for internal-use software by replacing the stage-based capitalization model with a principle-based framework. The amended guidance clarifies that capitalization begins when management authorizes funding and determines that it is probable the project will be completed and the software will be used as intended. The amended guidance is effective for the Bancorp on January 1, 2028 with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied on either a prospective, modified or retrospective basis. The Bancorp is in the process of evaluating the impact of the amended guidance on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASU 2025-07 – Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07, which refines derivative accounting by introducing a scope exception for certain contracts with variables based on the specific operations or activities of one of the parties to the contract. The amended guidance also clarifies that share-based noncash consideration received from a customer in a revenue contract is initially accounted for under ASC 606, with other guidance applied only once the consideration becomes unconditional. The amended guidance is effective for the Bancorp on January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied on either a prospective or modified retrospective basis. The Bancorp does not expect the amended guidance to have a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASU 2025-09 – Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements

In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, which makes several amendments to existing guidance for hedge accounting. The amendments are intended to simplify the application of hedge accounting guidance in current U.S. GAAP, improve the alignment of financial reporting with an entity’s risk management strategies and enable the achievement and maintenance of hedge accounting for highly effective economic hedges of forecasted transactions. Among other things, the amendments include the expansion of hedged risks for groups of forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge, introduction of a model for variable-rate debt with choose-your-rate debt features, expansion of hedge accounting for forecasted purchases and sales of nonfinancial assets, elimination of the net written option test for certain compound derivatives, and elimination of recognition and presentation mismatches involving foreign currency-denominated debt in dual hedge designations. The amended guidance is effective for the Bancorp on January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis for all hedging relationships. The Bancorp may elect to adopt the amendments for hedging relationships that exist as of the date of adoption. The Bancorp does not expect the amended guidance to have a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASU 2026-02 – Environmental Credits and Environmental Credit Obligations (Topic 818)

In May 2026, the FASB issued ASU 2026-02, which establishes recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements for entities that generate, purchase, or receive environmental credits or have regulatory compliance obligations that may be settled with such credits. The amended guidance clarifies when environmental credits should be recognized as assets, provides initial measurement guidance based on how the credits are obtained and establishes distinct intent-based models for compliance and noncompliance environmental credits. The amended guidance is effective for the Bancorp on January 1, 2028, with early adoption permitted, and should be applied on a retrospective basis. The Bancorp is in the process of evaluating the impact of the amended guidance on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
