Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Organization and Background Organization and Background
Organization
We are the sole managing member of Desert Newco, LLC (Desert Newco), and as a result, we consolidate its financial results into the results and financial position of the Company. As of September 30, 2024, we owned 100% of Desert Newco.
On December 11, 2023, we completed a series of transactions (the DNC Restructure) designed to simplify our then existing capital structure, commonly referred to as an "Up-C" structure, and provide us with additional strategic flexibility. Completion of these transactions resulted in Desert Newco becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of GoDaddy Inc. Pursuant to the DNC Restructure, all Limited Liability Company Units of Desert Newco not held by us or our subsidiaries were cancelled and converted into newly issued shares of our Class A common stock. Subsequent to the DNC Restructure, on January 1, 2024, Desert Newco was converted from a partnership to a disregarded entity and as a result we are now treated as a consolidated C corporation group for U.S. income tax purposes.
Basis of Presentation
Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) and include our accounts and the accounts of our subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Our interim financial statements are unaudited and, in our opinion, include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for the fair presentation of the periods presented. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent period or for the year ending December 31, 2024.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the 2023 Form 10-K).
Prior Period Presentation
Certain immaterial prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Use of Estimates
GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions affecting amounts reported in our financial statements. We periodically evaluate our estimates and adjust prospectively, if necessary. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable; however, actual results may differ.
Segments
We report our operating results through two reportable segments: Applications and Commerce (A&C) and Core Platform (Core), as further discussed in Note 16.

See Note 7 for information regarding our deferred revenue.
Assets Recognized from Contract Costs
Fees paid to various registries at the inception of a domain registration or renewal represent costs to fulfill a contract. We capitalize and amortize these prepaid domain name registry fees to cost of revenue consistent with the pattern of transfer of the product to which the asset relates. Amortization expense of such assets was $200.3 million and $194.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and was $589.9 million and $571.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Restructuring and Other
Restructuring and other primarily represents: (i) charges related to restructuring activities undertaken to reduce future operating expenses and improve cash flows through a combination of reductions in force during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 and the sale of certain assets and liabilities of our hosting business within our Core segment during the nine months ended September 30, 2023; (ii) charges incurred related to the abandonment of right-of-use assets associated with certain operating leases during the nine months ended September 30, 2024; and (iii) a charge related to the termination of a revenue sharing arrangement during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. See Note 13 for further discussion.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants. The framework for measuring fair value provides a three-tier hierarchy prioritizing inputs to valuation techniques used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1— Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
Level 2— Inputs, other than quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets, which are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3— Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data requiring the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
We hold certain assets required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These include time deposits and notice deposits, which we classify within Level 1 because we use quoted market prices to determine their fair value. Level 2 assets and liabilities include commercial paper and derivative financial instruments associated with hedging activity, as further discussed in Note 10. Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value on the contract date and are subsequently remeasured each reporting period using inputs such as spot rates, discount rates and forward rates. There are no active markets for the hedge contracts themselves; however, the inputs used to calculate the fair value of the instruments are tied to active markets.
The following tables set forth our material assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Standards Accounting Board (FASB) issued guidance to update reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and information used to assess segment performance. This update is effective for the 2024 fiscal year and interim periods in fiscal year 2025, with early adoption permitted, and will be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. Adoption of this guidance will result in additional disclosures, but it will not impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this guidance require additional disclosures about income taxes, primarily focused on the disclosure of income taxes paid and the rate reconciliation table. The new guidance will be effective for the 2025 fiscal year, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our disclosures within our consolidated financial statements.

Share Repurchases
Our board of directors has authorized a share repurchase program of up to $4,000.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we repurchased a total of 5,179 shares of our Class A common stock, which were retired upon repurchase, for an aggregate purchase price of $668.1 million. As of September 30, 2024, we had $767.4 million of remaining authorization available for repurchases.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we entered into accelerated share repurchase agreements (ASRs) to repurchase shares of our Class A common stock, pursuant to which, we made an upfront payment of $245.0 million. No shares were initially received in connection with these ASRs. The total number of shares ultimately delivered under each ASR, and therefore the average purchase price paid per share, were determined based on the volume weighted-average price of our stock during the applicable purchase period less an agreed upon discount and subject to a cap. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the ASRs were settled in full with the delivery of 1,353 shares of Class A common stock for $188.9 million at an average price of $139.65 per share, and a partial repayment of the upfront payment resulting from the cap, in the amount of $56.1 million in cash. The shares received were retired at the time of delivery and the upfront payment was accounted for as an increase in accumulated deficit. The ASRs are forward contracts indexed to our Class A common stock and met all of the applicable criteria for equity classification, therefore, the ASRs were not accounted for as derivative instruments.

Equity Plans
At our Annual Meeting of Stockholders on June 6, 2024 (the Annual Meeting), our stockholders approved the adoption of the GoDaddy Inc. 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the 2024 Plan), which replaced our 2015 Equity Incentive Plan on a prospective basis. Under the 2024 Plan, we may grant shares of our Class A common stock in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, performance stock units and other stock- and cash-based awards. 9,085 shares of Class A common stock were initially reserved for issuance under the 2024 Plan. If any award granted under the 2024 Plan or the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan expires or is canceled, forfeited, or otherwise settled without the issuance of Class A common stock, the Class A common stock covered by such award will return to the pool of reserved shares for issuance and will be available for subsequent grants under the terms of the 2024 Plan.
At the Annual Meeting, our stockholders also approved the adoption of the GoDaddy Inc. 2024 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the 2024 ESPP), which will replace the 2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan with the first offering period commencing in November 2024 upon the completion of the then in effect offering period under the 2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, with any subsequent offering periods being administered under the 2024 ESPP for as long as it is in effect. Under the 2024 ESPP, 4,605 shares of our Class A common stock are reserved for issuance. The 2024 ESPP enables eligible employees to purchase our Class A common stock at a price per share equal to 85% of the fair market value of our Class A common stock on the first trading day of the offering period or the last trading day of the offering period, whichever is lower.
Equity Plan Activity
We have granted stock options at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of our Class A common stock on the grant date as well as granted both stock options and restricted stock awards (RSUs) vesting solely upon the continued service of the recipient. Performance-based awards (PSUs) vest based on our relative total stockholder return (TSR) as compared to an index of public internet companies.

Credit Facility
As described in our 2023 Form 10-K, our secured credit agreement (the Credit Facility) includes two tranches of term loans and a revolving credit facility (the Revolver). A portion of the term loans is hedged by interest rate swap arrangements, as discussed in Note 10.
In January 2024, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Facility to provide for a new tranche of term loans maturing in 2029, the proceeds of which were used to refinance our existing term loans (the 2029 Term Loans). Pursuant to this amendment, the 2029 Term Loans were issued at par and bear interest at a rate equal to, at our option, either (a) Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) for the applicable interest period plus a margin of 2.0% per annum or (b) a margin of 1.0% per annum plus the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, (ii) the Prime Rate or (iii) SOFR for an interest period of one month plus 1.0%.
In May 2024, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Facility to provide for a new tranche of term loans maturing in 2031, the proceeds of which were used to refinance and extend the maturity of our 2027 Term Loans as defined in our 2023 Form 10-K to 2031 (the 2031 Term Loans) and repay a portion of our 2029 Term Loans. The amortization rate for the 2031 Term Loans is 1.00% per annum and the first installment is payable on or about September 30, 2024. Pursuant to this amendment, the 2031 Term Loans were issued at an applicable margin of (i) 1.75% for the term loans that are SOFR Loans and (ii) 0.75% for the term loans that are ABR Loans.
As of September 30, 2024, we had $998.7 million available for borrowing under the Revolver as $1.3 million has been used to secure the issuance of standby letters of credit. We were not in violation of any covenants of the Credit Facility as of September 30, 2024.
Senior Notes
As described in our 2023 Form 10-K, we have completed two offerings of senior notes, Senior Notes due 2027 (the 2027 Senior Notes) and Senior Notes due in 2029 (the 2029 Senior Notes, and together with the 2027 Senior Notes, the Senior Notes). We were not in violation of any covenants of the Senior Notes as of September 30, 2024.
Fair Value
The estimated fair values of our long-term debt instruments are based on observable market prices for these instruments, which are traded in less active markets and therefore classified as Level 2 fair value measurements, and were as follows as of September 30, 2024:

Derivatives and Hedging Derivatives and Hedging
We utilize the following derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges:
•foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge certain forecasted sales transactions denominated in foreign currencies;
•cross-currency swaps used to manage variability due to movements in foreign currency exchange rates related to a Euro-denominated intercompany loan; and
•pay-fixed rate, receive-floating rate interest rate swaps to effectively convert portions of our variable-rate debt to fixed.
We also utilize cross-currency swaps designated as net investment hedges to mitigate the risk associated with exchange rate fluctuations on our net investment in certain foreign operations.

As of September 30, 2024, we estimate that $82.7 million of net deferred gains related to our designated hedges will be recognized in earnings over the next 12 months. No amounts have been excluded from our hedge effectiveness testing.
Risk Management Strategies
Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts
From time-to-time, we may enter into foreign exchange forward contracts with financial institutions to hedge certain forecasted sales transactions denominated in foreign currencies. We designate these forward contracts as cash flow hedges, which are recognized as either assets or liabilities at fair value. At September 30, 2024, all such contracts had maturities of 24 months or less.
Cross-Currency Swaps
In April 2017, in order to manage variability due to movements in foreign currency rates related to a Euro-denominated intercompany loan, we entered into five-year cross-currency swaps. In March 2022, we entered into a transaction to extend the maturity of these swaps to August 31, 2027. We and the existing counterparties executed cancellation agreements to terminate all rights, obligations and liabilities associated with the original swaps. On the modification date, the existing cash flow hedging relationships were de-designated and new hedging relationships incorporating the terms of the new swaps (the 2022 Cross-Currency Swaps) were designated as either cash flow hedging relationships or net investment hedging relationships. The 2022 Cross-Currency Swaps had an aggregate amortizing notional amount of €1,184.2 million at inception (approximately $1,262.5 million). The swaps designated as cash flow hedging relationships convert the 3.00% fixed rate Euro-denominated interest and principal receipts on the intercompany loan into U.S. dollar interest and principal receipts at a fixed rate of 4.81%. The swaps designated as net investment hedging relationships hedge the foreign currency exposure of our net investment in certain Euro denominated functional currency subsidiaries. Pursuant to the contracts, the Euro notional value will be exchanged for the U.S. dollar notional value at maturity.
Interest Rate Swaps
In April 2017, we entered into a five-year pay-fixed rate, receive-floating rate interest rate swap arrangement to effectively convert a portion of the variable-rate borrowings under the previously issued term loans maturing in 2024, which were refinanced with the 2029 Term Loans, to a fixed rate of 5.44%. In March 2022, we entered into a transaction to extend the maturity of the swaps to August 31, 2027. We and the existing counterparties executed cancellation agreements to terminate all rights, obligations and liabilities associated with the original swaps. On the modification date, the existing cash flow hedging relationships were de-designated and new hedging relationships incorporating the terms of the new interest rate swaps (the 2022 Interest Rate Swaps) were designated. The 2022 Interest Rate Swaps, which had an amortizing notional amount of $1,262.5 million at inception, serve to convert a portion of the variable-rate borrowings under the 2029 Term Loans to a fixed rate of 4.81%. In November 2022, in conjunction with the concurrent Credit Facility refinancing discussed in our 2023 Form 10-K, we terminated these swaps and entered into new SOFR-based interest rate swaps. This modification impacted no critical terms other than the reference rate change from LIBOR to SOFR and thus had no impact on our hedging relationships or financial statements.
In August 2020, in conjunction with the issuance of the 2027 Term Loans as defined in our 2023 Form 10-K, we entered into seven-year pay-fixed rate, receive-floating rate interest rate swaps to effectively convert the variable one-month LIBOR interest rate on the 2027 Term Loans borrowings to a fixed rate of 0.705%. These interest rate swaps, which mature on August 10, 2027, had an aggregate notional amount of $750.0 million at inception. In May 2023, in conjunction with the concurrent Credit Facility amendment, we terminated these swaps and entered into new SOFR-based interest rate swaps. This modification impacted no critical terms other than the reference rate change from LIBOR to SOFR and thus had no impact on our hedging relationships or financial statements.
The objective of these arrangements, which are designated as cash flow hedges and recognized as assets or liabilities at fair value, is to manage the variability of cash flows in the interest payments related to the portion of the variable-rate debt designated as being hedged. The unrealized gains and losses on the swaps are included in AOCI and will be recognized in earnings within or against interest expense when the hedged interest payments are accrued each month.

Leases [Abstract]  
Leases Leases
Our operating leases primarily consist of office and data center space expiring at various dates through October 2034. Certain leases include options to renew or terminate at our discretion. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. As of September 30, 2024, operating leases have a remaining weighted-average lease term of 6.3 years and our operating lease liabilities were measured using a weighted-average discount rate of 5.5%.
The components of operating lease expense were as follows:

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]  
Commitments and Contingencies Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
From time-to-time, we are a party to litigation and subject to claims, suits, regulatory and government investigations, other proceedings and consent decrees in the ordinary course of business, including intellectual property claims, putative and certified class actions, commercial and consumer protection claims, labor and employment claims, breach of contract claims and other asserted and unasserted claims. We investigate claims as they arise and accrue estimates for resolution of legal and other contingencies when losses are probable and reasonably estimable.
There have been no material changes outside of the ordinary course of business to our known contractual obligations, which were included in Note 13 of Item 8 of our 2023 Form 10-K.
Indirect Taxes
We are subject to indirect taxation in some, but not all, of the various states and foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct business. Laws and regulations attempting to subject communications and commerce conducted over the Internet to various indirect taxes are becoming more prevalent, both in the U.S. and internationally, and may impose additional burdens on us in the future. Increased regulation could negatively affect our business directly, as well as the businesses of our customers. Taxing authorities may impose indirect taxes on the Internet-related revenue we generate based on regulations currently being applied to similar, but not directly comparable, industries. There are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate indirect tax determination is uncertain. In addition, domestic and international indirect taxation laws are complex and subject to change. We may be audited in the future, which could result in changes to our indirect tax estimates. We continually evaluate those jurisdictions in which nexus exists, and believe we maintain adequate indirect tax accruals.
Our accrual for estimated indirect tax liabilities was $28.0 million and $23.6 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, reflecting our best estimate of the probable liability based on an analysis of our business activities, revenues subject to indirect taxes and applicable regulations. Although we believe our indirect tax estimates and associated liabilities are reasonable, the final determination of indirect tax audits, litigation or settlements could be materially different than the amounts established for indirect tax contingencies.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]  
Restructuring and Other Charges and Disposition of Businesses and Related Assets Restructuring and Other Charges and Disposition of Businesses and Related Assets
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we implemented restructuring activities to further reduce operating expenses and improve cash flows through a reduction in force, which impacted approximately 275 employees. In conjunction with these restructuring activities, we recognized $17.0 million of pre-tax restructuring charges in our statement of operations related to severance, employee benefits and equity-based compensation during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. No pre-tax restructuring charges were recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2024. Of the $17.0 million of pre-tax restructuring charges recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, $6.3 million and $9.9 million were recognized within our A&C and Core segments, respectively, and $0.8 million was recognized as corporate overhead.
Cash payments of $5.2 million and $15.3 million related to the restructuring activities described above were made during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. We expect to make substantially all remaining restructuring payments by the end of 2024.
The following table shows the total amount incurred and the accrued restructuring costs, which are recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our balance sheet, for severance and employee benefits:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we also recognized $5.7 million of expense related to the abandonment of certain operating leases as discussed in Note 11. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized a $16.8 million charge in connection with the disposition of certain assets and liabilities of our hosting business within our Core segment which occurred on June 30, 2023 and a charge of $17.0 million related to the termination of a revenue sharing agreement.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes Income Taxes
We completed the DNC Restructure to simplify our capital structure, and on January 1, 2024, Desert Newco was converted from a partnership to a disregarded entity for U.S. income tax purposes. As a result, we now account for our deferred taxes related to Desert Newco based on the inside basis differences of our assets and liabilities where prior to the DNC Restructure we accounted for our deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Desert Newco based on the outside basis difference of our investment in Desert Newco. In connection with this change, we adjusted certain temporary differences on existing assets and liabilities which resulted in a one-time non-cash income tax benefit in the first quarter of 2024 of $267.4 million.
The components of our deferred taxes before and after the DNC restructuring are as follows:

Original issue discount and debt issuance costs(14.0)— 
Total DTLs(253.2)(6.4)
Net DTAs$1,263.0 $982.6 
Our effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to a one-time benefit related to the DNC Restructure, U.S. research and development tax credits and excess tax benefits related to equity-based compensation.
We monitor the realizability of our DTAs considering all relevant factors at each reporting period. As of September 30, 2024, based on the relevant weight of positive and negative evidence, including our ability to forecast future operating results, historical tax losses and our ability to utilize DTAs within the requisite carryforward periods, we do not maintain a valuation allowance on the majority of our U.S. federal and state DTAs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, management applied judgment and recorded a $13.0 million tax benefit for the reversal of a valuation allowance as a result of changes to our U.S. filing group from the DNC Restructure.
We do maintain valuation allowances on certain U.S., state and foreign carry forwards as we concluded they are not more likely than not to be realized.
Uncertain Tax Positions
The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits was $171.8 million as of September 30, 2024, of which $43.8 million, if fully recognized, would decrease our effective tax rate. Although we believe the amounts reflected in our tax returns substantially comply with applicable U.S. federal, state and foreign tax regulations, the respective taxing authorities may take contrary positions based on their interpretation of the law. A tax position successfully challenged by a taxing authority could result in an adjustment to our provision or benefit for income taxes in the period in which a final determination is made. During the three months ending September 30, 2024, we recognized a $9.0 million income tax benefit related to the reversal of an uncertain tax position in a foreign jurisdiction as a result of a favorable tax ruling.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Information Segment Information
We report our operating results through two reportable segments: A&C and Core.
Our chief operating decision maker (CODM), which, as of September 30, 2024, was our Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the performance of and allocates resources to our segments based on each segment's revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Segment EBITDA). Segment EBITDA is defined as segment revenues less costs and operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense (net), provision or benefit for income taxes, equity-based compensation expense, acquisition-related costs, restructuring-related expenses and certain other items. We believe Segment EBITDA serves as a measure that assists our CODM and our investors in comparing our segments' performance on a consistent basis.
Our CODM does not use assets by segment to evaluate performance or allocate resources; therefore, we do not provide disclosure of assets by segment. See Note 2 for property, plant, and equipment, net as well as revenue disaggregated by geography.
The A&C and Core segments provide a view into the product-focused organization of our business and generate revenue as follows:
•A&C primarily consists of sales of products containing proprietary software, notably our website building products, as well as our commerce products and third-party email and productivity solutions and sales of certain products when they are included in bundled offerings of our proprietary software products.
•Core primarily consists of sales of domain registrations and renewals, aftermarket domain sales, website hosting products and website security products when not included in bundled offerings of our proprietary software products as well as sales of products not containing a software component.
There are no internal revenue transactions between our reportable segments.
Corporate overhead primarily includes general and administrative expenses and items not allocated to either segment as well as those costs specifically excluded from Segment EBITDA, our segment measure of profitability, such as depreciation and amortization, interest expense and income and provision or benefit for income taxes.

Our interim financial statements are unaudited and, in our opinion, include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for the fair presentation of the periods presented. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent period or for the year ending December 31, 2024.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the 2023 Form 10-K).
Prior Period Presentation
Certain immaterial prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions affecting amounts reported in our financial statements. We periodically evaluate our estimates and adjust prospectively, if necessary. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable; however, actual results may differ.
Segments
Segments
We report our operating results through two reportable segments: Applications and Commerce (A&C) and Core Platform (Core), as further discussed in Note 16.
Assets Recognized from Contract Costs
Assets Recognized from Contract Costs
Fees paid to various registries at the inception of a domain registration or renewal represent costs to fulfill a contract. We capitalize and amortize these prepaid domain name registry fees to cost of revenue consistent with the pattern of transfer of the product to which the asset relates.
Restructuring and Other
Restructuring and Other
Restructuring and other primarily represents: (i) charges related to restructuring activities undertaken to reduce future operating expenses and improve cash flows through a combination of reductions in force during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 and the sale of certain assets and liabilities of our hosting business within our Core segment during the nine months ended September 30, 2023; (ii) charges incurred related to the abandonment of right-of-use assets associated with certain operating leases during the nine months ended September 30, 2024; and (iii) a charge related to the termination of a revenue sharing arrangement during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants. The framework for measuring fair value provides a three-tier hierarchy prioritizing inputs to valuation techniques used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1— Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
Level 2— Inputs, other than quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets, which are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3— Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data requiring the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
We hold certain assets required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These include time deposits and notice deposits, which we classify within Level 1 because we use quoted market prices to determine their fair value. Level 2 assets and liabilities include commercial paper and derivative financial instruments associated with hedging activity, as further discussed in Note 10. Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value on the contract date and are subsequently remeasured each reporting period using inputs such as spot rates, discount rates and forward rates. There are no active markets for the hedge contracts themselves; however, the inputs used to calculate the fair value of the instruments are tied to active markets.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Standards Accounting Board (FASB) issued guidance to update reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and information used to assess segment performance. This update is effective for the 2024 fiscal year and interim periods in fiscal year 2025, with early adoption permitted, and will be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. Adoption of this guidance will result in additional disclosures, but it will not impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this guidance require additional disclosures about income taxes, primarily focused on the disclosure of income taxes paid and the rate reconciliation table. The new guidance will be effective for the 2025 fiscal year, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our disclosures within our consolidated financial statements.
