Basis of presentation
We have prepared these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements based on Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. These financial statements include all adjustments that are necessary for a fair statement of our consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows for the periods shown, including normal, recurring accruals and other items. The consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). These condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2024.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified in order to conform to the current year presentation.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company updated its allocation methodology of corporate costs to better align with the manner in which the Company now allocates resources and measures performance. As a result, segment results for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. For further discussion, see Note 19.

Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet effective
ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07") - In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. The purpose of the amendments is to enable investors to better understand an entity’s overall performance and assess potential future cash flows. This ASU is effective for public companies with annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt the standard during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year ending October 31, 2025, and is currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09") - In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions. This ASU is effective for public companies with annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2024-03, Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures ("ASU 2024-03") - In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, which requires additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements for both interim and annual reporting periods. This ASU is effective for public companies with annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. |
