As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $260.9 million and $119.9 million in federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, respectively. The federal and state carryforwards expire in varying amounts beginning in 2029 for federal and 2026 for state purposes.

In addition, as of June 30, 2025, the Company had federal and state research and development tax credits of $28.5 million and $22.8 million, respectively. If not utilized, the federal research credits will begin to expire in 2026, the California research credits have no expiration date and the other state research credits will begin to expire in 2026.

Under the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Sections 382 and 383, annual use of our net operating loss and research tax credit carryforwards to offset taxable income may be limited based on cumulative changes in ownership. Although ownership changes have occurred in the prior years, the carryovers should be available for utilization by the Company before they expire, provided the Company generates sufficient future taxable income. An analysis of the impact of this provision through March 31, 2022 has been performed and it was determined that no ownership change has occurred after December 2009.

Based on the available objective evidence and history of losses, the Company has established a 100% valuation allowance against its combined domestic net deferred tax assets because of uncertainty surrounding the realization of such deferred tax assets.

Certain income earned by controlled foreign corporations (“CFCs”) must be included currently in the gross income of the CFCs United States shareholder. The income required to be included in gross income is referred to as global intangible low tax income (“GILTI”) and is defined under IRC Section 951A as the excess of the shareholder’s net CFC tested income over the net deemed tangible income return. The GILTI inclusion amount has been absorbed by net operating loss carryforwards. The Company has made a policy decision to record GILTI tax as a current-period expense when incurred.

One of the provisions under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that became effective in tax years beginning after December 31, 2021 required the capitalization and amortization of research and experimental expenditures. The change in this United States tax law did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of this tax law change on future periods.

At June 30, 2025, the Company has $2.1 million of deferred tax liability related to withholding tax expected to be paid on the remittance of unrepatriated distributable reserves in France, Japan and Switzerland. At June 30, 2025, the Company has undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries of $11.8 million that it has indefinitely invested, and on which it has not recognized deferred taxes.

The calculation of unrecognized tax benefits involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex global tax regulations. Management regularly assesses the Company’s tax positions with respect to legislative, bilateral tax treaty, regulatory and judicial developments in the countries in which the Company does business. The reduction in prior year's tax positions primarily relates to lapses of applicable statutes of limitations. The Company anticipates there will be no material changes in uncertain tax positions in the next 12 months. As of June 30, 2025, the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits was $22.6 million, of which $21.8 million would not affect income tax expense before consideration of any valuation allowance.

The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s cumulative accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, was not material.

The Company files income tax returns in the United States federal, various states, and foreign jurisdictions. Due to tax attributes being carried forward and utilized during open years, the statute of limitations remains open for the U.S. federal jurisdiction and domestic states for tax years from 2006 and forward. The statutes of limitation with respect to the foreign jurisdictions where the Company files income tax returns vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and range from 3 to 10 years and the material foreign jurisdictions are France, Switzerland and Japan.

The Company is also subject to examination of its income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and other foreign tax authorities, and in some cases the Company has received additional tax assessments which have not been significant. The Company is under audit by the Indian tax authorities for the fiscal year 2021 and we do not expect a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

On July 4, 2025, new federal tax legislation was enacted, introducing significant changes to U.S. corporate income tax law. Key provisions include the optional expensing of domestic research and development costs under Section 174, modifications to business interest deductions under Section 163(j), and changes to international tax rules such as GILTI. Some provisions are effective retroactively to January 1, 2025, while others phase in through 2027. As the legislation was

enacted after the balance sheet date, its effects are not reflected in the financial statements for the fiscal period ended June 30, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, including implications for deferred tax assets and related disclosures in the subsequent period.

About Income Taxes Disclosures

The income tax disclosure reveals how much a company actually pays in taxes versus what the statutory rate would predict. Analysts focus on the effective tax rate (ETR) reconciliation, which breaks down every item driving the gap between the 21% federal rate and the company's reported ETR — including R&D credits, foreign rate differentials, and state taxes. Deferred tax assets (DTAs) and their valuation allowances signal management's confidence in future profitability: a rising allowance suggests the company doubts it can use accumulated tax benefits. Uncertain tax benefit (UTB) reserves quantify exposure to IRS challenges on aggressive positions.

Key signals to watch: sudden ETR drops without clear operational reasons, large increases in valuation allowances, growing UTB balances, and significant unremitted foreign earnings. Post-TCJA, pay attention to GILTI and BEAT provisions that affect multinational tax structures. Compare the cash taxes paid (from the cash flow statement) against the income tax provision to gauge earnings quality.
