Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 28, 2024 and for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023 include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications) necessary to state fairly the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Statements of Operations, Statements of Comprehensive Income, Statements of Stockholders' Equity, and Statements of Cash Flows of Motorola Solutions, Inc. (“Motorola Solutions” or the “Company”) for all periods presented. The Company operates on a 52-week fiscal year, with each fiscal year ending on December 31. With respect to each fiscal quarter, the Company operates on a 13-week fiscal quarter, with all fiscal quarters ending on a Saturday. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the "Form 10-K"). The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Business Overview The Company manages the business organizationally through two segments: “Products and Systems Integration” and “Software and Services". Within these segments the Company has three principal product lines in which the Company reports net sales: Land Mobile Radio Communications (“LMR” or “LMR Communications”), Video Security and Access Control ("Video"), and Command Center. • LMR Communications: Infrastructure, devices (two-way radio and broadband, including both for public safety and professional and commercial radio (PCR)) and software that enable communications, inclusive of installation and integration, backed by services, to assure availability, security and resiliency. • Video: Cameras (fixed, body-worn, in-vehicle), access control, infrastructure, video management, software and artificial intelligence (AI)-powered analytics that help enable visibility and bring attention to what’s important. • Command Center: Command center solutions and software applications that unify voice, video and data analytics from public safety agencies, enterprises and the community to create a broad informational view to help simplify workflows and improve the accuracy and speed of decisions. Recent Acquisitions Subsequent to quarter end, on October 29, 2024, the Company acquired 3tc Software ("3tc"), a provider of control room software solutions for $22 million, net of cash acquired. In addition, the Company issued restricted stock at a fair value of $4 million to certain key employees that will be expensed over a service period of one year. The acquisition expands the Company's critical experience and innovation focused on advancing computer-aided dispatch ("CAD") for the UK's public safety agencies. This business is part of the Software and Services segment. On July 1, 2024, the Company acquired Noggin, a global provider of critical event management ("CEM") software for $91 million, net of cash acquired. In addition, the Company issued restricted stock at a fair value of $19 million to certain key employees that will be expensed over a service period of three years. This acquisition enhances the Company's portfolio by adding operational resilience and CEM capabilities, which help enterprises and critical infrastructure anticipate, prepare for and efficiently respond to incidents. The business is part of the Software and Services segment. On July 1, 2024, the Company acquired a company that provides vehicle location and management solutions for $132 million, net of cash acquired. In addition, the Company issued restricted stock at a fair value of $3 million to certain key employees that will be expensed over a service period of three years. The acquisition expands the Company's video solutions within the Software and Services segment. On February 13, 2024, the Company acquired Silent Sentinel, a provider of specialized, long-range cameras, for $37 million, net of cash acquired. This acquisition complements the Company's portfolio of fixed video cameras, expanding its footprint with government and critical infrastructure customers and strengthens the Company's position as a global leader in end-to-end video security solutions. The business is part of the Products and System Integration segment. On December 15, 2023, the Company acquired IPVideo, the creator of the HALO Smart Sensor, for $170 million, net of cash acquired. In addition, the Company issued restricted stock at a fair value of $5 million to certain key employees that will be expensed over a service period of one year. The HALO Smart Sensor is a multifunctional safety and security device with built-in vape detection and air quality monitoring, gunshot detection, abnormal noise and motion detection and emergency keyword detection. This acquisition adds sensor technology to the Company's physical security portfolio. The business is part of the Products and Systems Integration segment. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” to update reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and information used to assess segment performance. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning in 2025, with early adoption permitted. The ASU will require the Company to disclose additional expense categories at the segment level including Cost of sales, Selling, general and administrative expenses, Research and development expenditures and Other charges once it adopts this ASU. The Company is still evaluating the complete impact of the adoption of this ASU on its disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which expands disclosures in an entity's income tax rate reconciliation table and disclosures regarding cash taxes paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company anticipates that it will have additional disclosures regarding cash taxes and the income tax rate reconciliation once it adopts this ASU.

The transaction value associated with remaining performance obligations which were not yet satisfied as of September 28, 2024 was $9.1 billion. A total of $4.2 billion was from Products and Systems Integration performance obligations that were not yet satisfied as of September 28, 2024, of which $2.5 billion is expected to be recognized in the next twelve months. The remaining amounts will generally be satisfied over time as systems are implemented. Remaining performance obligations from the Products and Systems Integration segment are equal to disclosed backlog for the segment. A total of $4.9 billion was from Software and Services performance obligations that were not yet satisfied as of September 28, 2024. The determination of Software and Services performance obligations that are not satisfied takes into account a contract term that may be limited by the customer’s ability to terminate for convenience. Where termination for convenience exists in the Company's service contracts, its disclosure of the remaining performance obligations that are unsatisfied assumes the contract term is limited until renewal. As a result, remaining performance obligations from the Software and Services segment may be less than disclosed backlog in the Software and Services segment due to multi-year service contracts with termination for convenience clauses. The Company expects to recognize $1.8 billion from unsatisfied Software and Services performance obligations over the next twelve months, with the remaining performance obligations generally to be recognized over time as services are performed and software is implemented. On March 13, 2024, the Company received a notice of contract extension (the “Deferred National Shutdown Notice”) from the UK Home Office. The Deferred National Shutdown Notice seeks to extend the “national shutdown target date” of the Airwave service from December 31, 2026 to December 31, 2029, at the rates implemented by a prospective price control on Airwave imposed by the Competition and Markets Authority (the "Charge Control"). In the first nine months of 2024, as a result of the UK Home Office's notice of a contract extension pursuant to their Deferred National Shutdown Notice, the Company recorded additional Software and Services performance obligations of $748 million to reflect the incremental three-years of services. Payment terms on system contracts are typically tied to implementation milestones associated with progress on contracts, while revenue recognition is over time based on a cost-to-cost method of measuring performance. The Company may recognize a Contract asset or Contract liability, depending on whether revenue has been recognized in excess of billings or billings in excess of revenue. Services contracts are typically billed in advance, generating Contract liabilities until the Company has performed the services. The Company does not record a financing component to contracts when it expects, at contract inception, that the period between the transfer of a promised good or service and related payment terms are less than a year.

Revenue of $6 million was recognized during the three months ended September 28, 2024 related to performance obligations satisfied, or partially satisfied, in previous periods, primarily driven by changes in the estimates of progress on system contracts. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, revenue adjustments driven by the changes in estimates of progress on system contracts were de minimis. Revenue of $11 million was reversed during the nine months ended September 28, 2024 related to revenue recognized for performance obligations satisfied, or partially satisfied, in previous periods, primarily driven by changes in the estimates of progress on system contracts, compared to $18 million of reversals for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. There were no material expected credit losses recorded on contract assets during each of the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023.

As of September 28, 2024, $252 million of 7.5% debentures due 2025, which mature in May 2025, and $70 million of 6.5% debentures due 2025, which mature in September 2025, were presented as the Current portion of long-term debt within the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, as the debentures mature within the next twelve months. On September 5, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with Silver Lake Partners to issue $1.0 billion of 1.75% senior convertible notes which were scheduled to mature in September 2024 (the "Silver Lake Convertible Debt"), which became fully convertible on September 5, 2021. On February 14, 2024, the Company agreed with Silver Lake Partners to repurchase $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of the Silver Lake Convertible Debt for aggregate consideration of $1.59 billion in cash, inclusive of the conversion premium. The Company paid the cash consideration during the first quarter of 2024. The repurchase of the Silver Lake Convertible Debt was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt, as the repurchase was negotiated under economically favorable terms outside of the original contractual conversion rate. A loss on the extinguishment of $585 million was recorded, representing the excess of amounts repurchased over the carrying value of debt of $593 million, offset by accrued interest of $8 million. The loss on the extinguishment of debt was recorded within Other Income (Expense) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the nine months ended September 28, 2024. On March 25, 2024, the Company issued $400 million of 5.0% senior notes due 2029 and $900 million of 5.4% senior notes due 2034. The Company recognized net proceeds of $1.3 billion after debt issuance costs and discounts. A portion of proceeds from the issuance of these notes was used to repurchase the $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of the Silver Lake Convertible Debt in the first quarter of 2024. As of September 28, 2024, the Company had a $2.25 billion syndicated, unsecured revolving credit facility scheduled to mature in March 2026 (the "2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement"). The 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement includes a letter of credit sub-limit and fronting commitments of $450 million. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at the prime rate plus the applicable margin, or at a spread above the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), at the Company's option. An annual facility fee is payable on the undrawn amount of the credit line. The interest rate and facility fee are subject to adjustment if the Company's credit rating changes. The Company must comply with certain customary covenants including a maximum leverage ratio, as defined in the 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants as of September 28, 2024. The Company has an unsecured commercial paper program, backed by the 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement, under which the Company may issue unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $2.2 billion outstanding at any one time. Proceeds from the issuances of the notes are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. The notes are issued at a zero-coupon rate and are issued at a discount which reflects the interest component. At maturity, the notes are paid back in full including the interest component. The notes are not redeemable prior to maturity. As of September 28, 2024 the Company had no outstanding debt under the commercial paper program.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Risk Management	Risk Management Foreign Currency Risk The Company had outstanding foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling $1.3 billion for each of the periods ended September 28, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company does not believe these financial instruments should subject it to undue risk due to foreign exchange movements because gains and losses on these contracts should generally offset gains and losses on the underlying assets, liabilities and transactions. The following table shows the five largest net notional amounts of the positions to buy or sell foreign currency as of September 28, 2024, and the corresponding positions as of December 31, 2023: Notional Amount Net Buy (Sell) by Currency September 28, 2024 December 31, 2023 Euro $ 307 $ 322 Australian dollar (240) (140) British pound 206 252 Canadian dollar 74 76 Chinese renminbi (68) (66) Counterparty Risk The use of derivative financial instruments exposes the Company to counterparty credit risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties. However, the Company’s risk is limited to the fair value of the instruments when the derivative is in an asset position. The Company actively monitors its exposure to credit risk. As of September 28, 2024, all of the counterparties had investment grade credit ratings. As of September 28, 2024, the Company had $9 million of exposure to aggregate credit risk with all counterparties. Derivative Financial Instruments The following tables summarize the fair values and locations in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets of all derivative financial instruments held by the Company as of September 28, 2024 and December 31, 2023: Fair Values of Derivative Instruments September 28, 2024 Other Current Assets Accrued Liabilities Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: Foreign exchange contracts $ — $ 5 Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: Foreign exchange contracts 9 3 Total derivatives $ 9 $ 8 Fair Values of Derivative Instruments December 31, 2023 Other Current Assets Accrued Liabilities Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: Foreign exchange contracts $ 1 $ 3 Treasury rate lock — 12 Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: Foreign exchange contracts 12 1 Equity swap contracts 1 — Total derivatives $ 14 $ 16 The following table summarizes the effect of derivatives on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023: Financial Statement Location Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended Foreign Exchange Contracts September 28, 2024 September 30, 2023 September 28, 2024 September 30, 2023 Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: Foreign exchange contracts Accumulated other $ (9) $ 9 $ 3 $ 5 Forward points recognized Other income (expense) — 1 1 2 Treasury rate lock Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) — — 4 — Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: Foreign exchange contracts Other income (expense) $ 22 $ (26) $ 7 $ (9) Equity swap contracts Selling, general and administrative expenses 1 (1) 3 (1) Net Investment Hedges The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge against the effect of the British pound and the Euro exchange rate fluctuations against the U.S. dollar on a portion of its net investments in certain European operations. The Company recognizes changes in the fair value of the net investment hedges as a component of foreign currency translation adjustments within Other comprehensive income to offset a portion of the change in translated value of the net investments being hedged, until the investments are sold or liquidated. As of September 28, 2024, the Company had €100 million of net investment hedges in certain Euro functional subsidiaries and £50 million of net investment hedges in a British pound functional subsidiary. The Company excludes the difference between the spot rate and the forward rate of the forward contract from its assessment of hedge effectiveness. The effect of the forward points recognized will be amortized on a straight-line basis and recognized through interest expense within Other income (expense) in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Equity Swap Contracts The Company uses equity swap contracts which serve as economic hedges against volatility within the equity markets, impacting the Company's deferred compensation plan obligations. These contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The notional amount of these contracts as of September 28, 2024 was $19 million. Treasury Rate Lock In 2023, the Company entered into treasury rate agreements which locked in the interest rate for $200 million in future debt issuances. The treasury rate lock agreements were designated and qualified as cash flow hedges. During the nine months ended September 28, 2024, the Company issued $900 million of 5.4% senior notes due 2034 (the "2034 notes"). The treasury rate lock agreements were terminated upon the issuance of the 2034 notes for a net settlement loss of $8 million. The accumulated loss recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) will be reclassified to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the 10-year term of the 2034 notes.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes At the end of each interim reporting period, the Company makes an estimate of its annual effective income tax rate. Tax expense in interim periods is calculated at the estimated annual effective tax rate plus or minus the tax effects of items of income and expense that are discrete to the period. The estimate used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis may change in subsequent interim periods. The following table provides details of income taxes: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 28, 2024 September 30, 2023 September 28, 2024 September 30, 2023 Net earnings before income taxes $ 695 $ 592 $ 1,184 $ 1,438 Income tax expense 132 127 214 321 Effective tax rate 19 % 21 % 18 % 22 % The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 28, 2024 of 19% was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to favorable U.S. return-to-provision adjustments, excess tax benefits of share-based compensation, and tax benefits recognized upon settlement of audits with taxing authorities in foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by state tax expense. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 28, 2024 of 18% was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to favorable U.S. return-to-provision adjustments (inclusive of the tax benefit recognized upon the Company's decision to implement a business initiative in 2024 which allows for additional utilization of foreign tax credit carryforwards and a higher foreign derived intangible income deduction on its 2023 U.S. tax return), excess tax benefits of share-based compensation, and tax benefits recognized upon settlement of audits with taxing authorities in foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by the non-tax deductible loss on the extinguishment of the Silver Lake Convertible Debt in the first quarter of 2024 and state tax expense. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 of 21% was equal to the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to state tax expense, offset by the excess tax benefits of share-based compensation and favorable U.S. return-to-provision adjustments. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of 22% was higher than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to state tax expense, partially offset by the excess tax benefits of share-based compensation and favorable U.S. return-to-provision adjustments. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 28, 2024 of 19% was lower than the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 of 21%, primarily due to higher excess tax benefits of share-based compensation and tax benefits recognized upon settlement of audits with taxing authorities in foreign jurisdictions in 2024. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 28, 2024 of 18% was lower than the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of 22%, primarily due to the tax benefit recognized upon the Company's decision to implement a business initiative in 2024 which allows for additional utilization of foreign tax credit carryforwards and a higher foreign derived intangible income deduction on its 2023 U.S. tax return, tax benefits recognized upon settlement of audits with taxing authorities in foreign jurisdictions, and higher excess tax benefits of share-based compensation in 2024, offset by the non-tax deductible loss on the extinguishment of Silver Lake Convertible Debt in 2024.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Legal Matters Hytera Litigation On March 14, 2017, the Company filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the "District Court") against Hytera Communications Corporation Limited of Shenzhen, China; Hytera America, Inc.; and Hytera Communications America (West), Inc. (collectively, "Hytera"), alleging trade secret theft and copyright infringement and seeking, among other things, injunctive relief, compensatory damages and punitive damages. On February 14, 2020, the Company announced that a jury decided in the Company's favor in its trade secret theft and copyright infringement case. In connection with this verdict, the jury awarded the Company $345.8 million in compensatory damages and $418.8 million in punitive damages, for a total of $764.6 million. In a series of post-trial rulings in 2021, the District Court subsequently reduced the judgment to $543.7 million, but also ordered Hytera to pay the Company $51.1 million in pre-judgment interest and $2.6 million in costs, as well as $34.2 million in attorneys fees. The Company continues to seek collection of the judgment through the ongoing legal process. On December 17, 2020, the District Court held that Hytera must pay the Company a forward-looking reasonable royalty on products that use the Company’s stolen trade secrets, and on December 15, 2021, set royalty rates for Hytera's sale of relevant products from July 1, 2019 forward. On July 5, 2022, the District Court ordered that Hytera pay into a third-party escrow on July 31, 2022, the royalties owed to the Company based on the sale of relevant products from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2022. Hytera failed to make the required royalty payment on July 31, 2022. On August 1, 2022, Hytera filed a motion to modify or stay the District Court's previous July 5, 2022 royalty order, which the District Court denied on July 11, 2023. On August 3, 2022, the Company filed a motion seeking to hold Hytera in civil contempt for violating the royalty order by not making the required royalty payment on July 31, 2022. On August 26, 2023, the District Court granted the Company's contempt motion. As a result, on September 1, 2023, Hytera made a payment of $56 million into the third-party escrow. In addition to the September 1, 2023 payment of $56 million, Hytera has made de minimis regular quarterly royalty payments into the third-party escrow from October 2022 through October 2024. The aggregate amount paid into escrow will not be recognized until all contingencies are resolved and such amount is released from escrow. Following the February 14, 2020 verdict and judgment in the Company's favor, Hytera appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit (the "Court of Appeals"), seeking review of the orders related to the jury's verdict as well as the District Court's royalty order. The Company filed its cross-appeal on August 5, 2022. The Court of Appeals heard oral arguments on December 5, 2023, and issued its decision on July 2, 2024. The Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court's award of $407.4 million in damages, including exemplary damages, under the Defend Trade Secrets Act. The Court of Appeals also directed the District Court to recalculate and reduce its award of $136.3 million in copyright infringement damages, and instructed the District Court to reconsider its denial of the Company's request for an injunction. In all other respects, the Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment of the District Court. On October 4, 2024, the Court of Appeals denied Hytera's motion for rehearing. The case has been remanded to the District Court for further action per the Court of Appeals' decision. In 2024, the parties engaged in competing litigation in the District Court and a court in Shenzhen, China (originally filed by Hytera in June 2022 and not served upon the Company until November 2023) related to the possible continued use by Hytera of the Company’s trade secrets in Hytera’s currently shipping products. On April 2, 2024, the District Court held Hytera in civil contempt, and issued a worldwide sales injunction of certain Hytera products and a daily fine, for Hytera's failure to withdraw its competing litigation in China. On April 16, 2024, the Court of Appeals granted Hytera's motion for an emergency stay of the contempt sanctions, to allow the Court of Appeals to review the District Court's various orders related to the competing litigation and contempt sanctions. The District Court held hearings on August 26-30, 2024, concerning whether Hytera's currently shipping products continue to misuse the Company's trade secrets and copyrighted source code. The issue is now under consideration by the District Court.

Basis of Presentation	The condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 28, 2024 and for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023 include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications) necessary to state fairly the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Statements of Operations, Statements of Comprehensive Income, Statements of Stockholders' Equity, and Statements of Cash Flows of Motorola Solutions, Inc. (“Motorola Solutions” or the “Company”) for all periods presented. The Company operates on a 52-week fiscal year, with each fiscal year ending on December 31. With respect to each fiscal quarter, the Company operates on a 13-week fiscal quarter, with all fiscal quarters ending on a Saturday. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the "Form 10-K"). The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” to update reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and information used to assess segment performance. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning in 2025, with early adoption permitted. The ASU will require the Company to disclose additional expense categories at the segment level including Cost of sales, Selling, general and administrative expenses, Research and development expenditures and Other charges once it adopts this ASU. The Company is still evaluating the complete impact of the adoption of this ASU on its disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which expands disclosures in an entity's income tax rate reconciliation table and disclosures regarding cash taxes paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company anticipates that it will have additional disclosures regarding cash taxes and the income tax rate reconciliation once it adopts this ASU.
