Recent Accounting Pronouncements – Please refer to Note 1, “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to the consolidated financial statements in Sonic’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for further discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (ASC Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” The amendments require the disclosure of a reconciliation between income tax expense from continuing operations and the amount computed by multiplying income from continuing operations before income taxes by the applicable statutory rate as well as an annual disaggregation of the income tax rate reconciliation between certain specified categories by both percentage and reported amounts, along with other changes to income tax disclosure requirements. The standard became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We have implemented the provisions of ASU 2023-09. See Note 7, “Income Taxes,” to the consolidated financial statements in Sonic’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for the additional disclosures required by ASC Topic 740.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)”. The amendments require the disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil and gas producing activities. It also requires the disclosure of a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively as well as the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. The standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law in the United States. The legislation contains a range of tax reforms affecting businesses, including the immediate expensing of research and development expenditures, 100% bonus depreciation on qualified property, and various other provisions effective in tax years 2026 through 2029. After evaluating the OBBBA’s provisions, we have determined that these changes did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026. We continue to monitor related guidance and assess any implications for our consolidated financial statements.
