| Income Taxes | Note 8. Income Taxes LivaNova PLC is a resident in the UK. LivaNova’s effective income tax rate fluctuates based on, among other factors, changes in pre-tax income in countries with varying statutory tax rates, valuation allowances, tax credits and incentives, unrecognized tax benefits associated with uncertain tax positions, and tax laws. LivaNova’s tax returns are periodically audited or subjected to review by tax authorities. The Company operates in multiple jurisdictions worldwide and assesses the recoverability of its deferred tax assets for each period and jurisdiction by considering whether it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company considers all available evidence (both positive and negative) in determining whether a valuation allowance is required. Depending on operating results in the future, a release of a valuation allowance could occur within the next 12 months. The timing and amount of the valuation allowance release could vary based on the Company’s assessment of all available evidence. LivaNova’s effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was 18.5% and (6.3)%, respectively, compared to 24.2% and (102.6)% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The changes in the effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the prior year periods, were primarily attributable to year-over-year changes in income before tax in countries with varying statutory tax rates, certain discrete tax items, including the SNIA environmental liability, and changes in valuation allowances. LivaNova is subject to income taxes as well as non-income-based taxes in the U.S., the UK, the EU, and various other jurisdictions. In June 2025, the Group of Seven released a statement on global minimum taxes indicating potential changes to substance-based non-refundable tax credits. The statement has not been incorporated into the OECD framework, and LivaNova will continue to monitor OECD and Pillar Two guidance for any new developments. On July 4, 2025, the U.S. enacted the OBBBA. Provisions of the OBBBA applicable to LivaNova include, but are not limited to, the elective deduction of domestic research and development expenses, changes to interest deductions, changes to Foreign-Derived Deduction Eligible Income, and the permanent reinstatement of bonus depreciation. LivaNova is still evaluating the potential impacts of the OBBBA. LivaNova will continue to monitor legislative developments in the U.S., the UK, the EU, and various other jurisdictions that may impact LivaNova’s operations.
