We operate in multiple international geographies. Our tax expense is reflective of the blended tax rate across those jurisdictions. We do not assert a permanent reinvestment position in any of our foreign subsidiaries. Accordingly, we expect to repatriate certain earnings that will be subject to withholding taxes. At March 31, 2026 we have accrued $1,583 as an additional deferred tax liability associated with the future repatriation of earnings from jurisdictions that withhold taxes on foreign paid dividends.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had foreign tax net operating loss carry-forwards ("NOLs") of $3,831. Of this amount, $448 may be carried forward indefinitely. As of March 31, 2026, the tax years 2021 through 2025 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject.
During fiscal 2025, we released our reserves of $1,046 for uncertain tax position which consisted of positions related to the final Transition Tax, which is associated with the Tax Act of 2018. We released these reserves as they are no longer subject to examination by tax authorities.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.
