The Company has accounted for in its 2025, 2024, and 2023 income tax provision the impact of Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income, base-erosion anti-abuse tax, interest expense limitations under Section 163(j) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and foreign-derived intangible income deductions, although such provisions were either not applicable or resulted in a zero or immaterial impact to the consolidated financial statements.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had gross federal, state, and foreign net operating losses of approximately $34.7 million and $12.8 million, respectively. These loss carryforwards generally expire between tax years ending December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2042. The components of the valuation allowance relate to certain acquired federal, state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards that the Company anticipates will not be utilized prior to their expiration, either due to income limitations or limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The tax effected values of these net operating losses are $1.7 million and $0.8 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, exclusive of valuation allowances of $0.4 million and $0.5 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the "OBBBA") was signed into law. The OBBBA makes permanent many of the expired and expiring tax provisions originally enacted in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, including the immediate expensing of domestic research and development expenditures, more favorable business interest deductibility and 100 percent first-year bonus depreciation on qualifying property with effective dates in 2025. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, “Income Taxes,” the Company has recognized the effects of the OBBBA for the provisions currently enacted, which has increased the Company’s deferred tax liability. The Company anticipates that the OBBBA will reduce its federal income tax liability and related tax payments for the current and future years but will not have a significant impact on its annual effective tax rate.
The Company is subject to periodic audits by domestic tax authorities. For the majority of tax jurisdictions, the U.S. federal statute of limitations remains open for the years 2022 and later. Uncertain tax benefits were immaterial as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and activity related to uncertain tax benefits was immaterial for all periods presented.Historical Timeline

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.
