As of May 31, 2025, we have determined that the realization of our deferred tax assets is more likely than not and that a valuation allowance is not required. Our net operating losses have carry forward periods that range from 5 to 20 years. Our history of operating earnings, our expectations for continued future earnings, the nature of certain of our deferred tax assets and the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, primarily related to depreciation, support the recoverability of the majority of the deferred tax assets.

Income tax receivable was $5.6 million and $13.2 million at May 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and was included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Our federal income tax returns for fiscal years 2022 and subsequent are open for examination. Various states and foreign jurisdictions also remain open subject to their applicable statute of limitations.
