As of December 31, 2025, the Company had net tax receivables of $1,897 which consisted of net federal and state and local tax of $977 and $920, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had net tax receivables of $ 1,151 which consisted of net federal and state and local tax receivables of $660 and $491, respectively.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset associated with net operating losses of its foreign subsidiary. Realization of the deferred tax asset is contingent on the foreign subsidiary generating future taxable income. Given the foreign subsidiary has recently initiated operations and does not yet have a history of sales, the Company has concluded that the deferred tax asset does not currently meet the more-likely-than-not threshold for realizability. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been recorded with respect to the net operating losses of the Company’s foreign subsidiary in the amount of $598 as of December 31, 2025. The amount of valuation allowance as of December 31, 2024 was $308.
In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by federal, state, and local tax regulators. As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for the years 2022 through 2025 are open under the normal three-year statute of limitations and therefore subject to examination.
The guidance for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. During the year ending December 31, 2025, the Company has reserved a total of $318 related to unrecognized tax benefits. If recognized, the above tax benefits would reduce the annual effective rate. The Company believes the liability established for unrecognized tax benefits is adequate in relation to the potential for additional assessments. The Company will reassess these amounts annually. The Company did not have any reserve related to unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

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.
