This ASU was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Entities were required to adopt the changes to the segment reporting guidance on a retrospective basis. Upon the adoption of the accounting standard, the Company disclosed the required annual segment information in Footnote 18: Segment Reporting of its 2024 Form 10-K. In 2025, the Company will provide quarterly and year-to-date segment information in its Forms 10-Q and 10-K.
