As of December 31, 2025, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $240.1 million, which is comprised of definite and indefinite net operating losses. We had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $92.6 million, which expire at various intervals from the years 2026 to 2037, and had carryforwards of $147.4 million of net operating losses which do not expire. Federal net operating losses generated in tax years following December 31, 2017 carryover indefinitely and may be used to offset up to 80% of future taxable net income. We also had state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $417.2 million, which expire at various intervals from the years 2026 through 2044. As of December 31, 2025, $196.6 million of our federal net operating loss carryforwards acquired in connection with the 2011 acquisition of Raven Holdings U.S., Inc., 2019 acquisition of Nulogix Health, Inc., and the 2025 acquisition of iCAD, Inc. are subject to limitations related to their utilization under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. We also had foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $106.0 million, which do not expire and are carried over indefinitely.
We considered all evidence available when determining whether deferred tax assets are more likely-than-not to be realized, including projected future taxable income, scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, prudent tax planning strategies, and recent financial operations. The evaluation of this evidence requires significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income, based on the plans and estimates we are using to manage the underlying businesses. In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, we consider three years of cumulative operating income. As of December 31, 2025, we have determined that deferred tax assets of $249.0 million are more likely-than-not to be realized. We have also determined deferred tax liabilities of $10.3 million are related to book basis in goodwill that has an indefinite life.
We file consolidated income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states and foreign jurisdictions. We continue to reinvest earnings of the non-US entities for the foreseeable future and therefore have not recognized any U.S. tax expense on these earnings. With limited exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2019. We do not anticipate the results of any open examinations would result in a material change to our financial position.

At December 31, 2025, we had unrecognized tax benefits of $7.2 million of which $6.6 million will affect the effective tax rate if recognized.
We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. During the year ended December 31, 2025 the Company accrued approximately $14 thousand of interest and penalties. As of December 31, 2025, accrued interest and penalties amounted to approximately $0.4 million. We do not anticipate the uncertain tax position to change materially within the next 12 months.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development issued Pillar Two model rules for a global minimum tax of 15% effective January 1, 2024. While it is uncertain whether the United States will enact legislation to adopt Pillar Two, certain countries in which we operate have adopted legislation, and other countries are in the process of introducing legislation to implement Pillar Two. Pillar Two had no impact on our 2024 ETR, and we do not currently expect Pillar Two to significantly impact our ETR going forward.
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. President signed into law H.R.1, the legislation commonly known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). This legislation extended, modified, or made permanent many of the tax provisions which were initially enacted as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017. The OBBBA contains a number of tax provisions including, but not limited to, immediate expensing of domestic research and experimental expenditures, modifications to the limitation on
business interest, bonus depreciation modifications, as well as international tax provision modifications. These tax provisions apply to either tax years beginning after December 31, 2024 or December 31, 2025.
The Company is still in the process of analyzing some of the tax elections available under the OBBBA. However, we do not expect these elections to have an impact on our effective rate for 2025.

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.
