Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2025-09, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements | January 1, 2027
Early adoption is permitted. | The key provisions of ASU 2025-09 that amend certain hedge accounting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815, Derivatives and Hedging are as follows:
1.Changes the requirement for designating a group of individual forecasted transactions from having a “shared” risk exposure to having a “similar” risk exposure. 2.Enables entities to apply cash flow hedge accounting on “choose-your-rate” debt. 3.Broadens situations where hedge accounting can be applied to forecasted purchases and sales of nonfinancial assets. 4.Eliminates the requirement to perform net written option assessment for a compound derivative when it is designated as a hedging instrument. 5.In the case of a dual hedge where a foreign-currency-denominated debt instrument is designated as the hedging instrument in a net investment hedge and a hedged item in a fair value hedge of interest rate risk, the ASU requires the debt instruments’ fair value hedge basis adjustment be excluded when performing the net investment hedge effectiveness assessment.
This guidance must be applied prospectively for all hedging relationships. | The Company does not expect adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. |
