FASB proposes income statement disaggregation disclosures

Defining Issues | August 2023

Public companies would disclose specific natural expense categories in certain income statement captions.

The proposed ASU addresses investor requests for more decision-useful information. Any relevant expense caption would be disaggregated in a tabular disclosure in the notes to the financial statements. If applicable, further disaggregation of inventory and manufacturing expense would be required. 

Applicability

Proposed ASU

  • Annual and interim financial statements of public business entities

Relevant dates

  • July 31, 2023 – FASB proposed ASU
  • October 30, 2023 – Comments due

Key Impacts:

Proposed quantitative disclosures

Disaggregate every relevant expense caption into:

  • employee compensation
  • depreciation
  • intangible asset amortization
  • depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A)
  • inventory and manufacturing expense

Further disaggregate inventory and manufacturing expense, if applicable, into:

  • purchases of inventory
  • employee compensation
  • depreciation
  • intangible asset amortization
  • DD&A

State the total amount of selling expenses

Proposed qualitative disclosures

  • Describe the nature of amounts not separately disaggregated in relevant expense captions
  • Describe the nature of amounts not separately disaggregated in inventory and manufacturing expense and other adjustments and reconciling items
  • Provide the entity's definition of other manufacturing expenses
  • Provide the entity’s definition of selling expenses
