Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] Ìý
Basis of Consolidation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements consolidate our accounts and the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries, all subsidiaries in which we have a controlling interest and VIEs for which we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated upon consolidation.
Investment in Affiliates We have investments in several businesses accounted for using the equity method of accounting. These investments are included within our Steelmaking segment. We review an investment for impairment when circumstances indicate that a loss in value below its carrying amount is other than temporary.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2022, the U.S. government signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law. The Inflation Reduction Act introduced, among other legislation, a 1% excise tax on the fair market value of stock repurchases net of the fair market value of stock issuances during the tax year. The excise tax is effective on net stock repurchases that occur after December 31, 2022. The tax is recorded in equity as a cost of common shares in treasury.
In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-04, Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations. This guidance requires annual and interim disclosure of the key terms of outstanding supplier finance programs and a roll-forward of the related obligations. The new standard does not affect the recognition, measurement or financial statement presentation of the supplier finance program obligations. We have adopted this standard, except for the amendment on roll-forward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Refer to NOTE 2 - SUPPLEMENTARY FINANCIAL STATEMENT INFORMATION for further information.
