Note 7. Income taxes

On a quarterly basis, the Company estimates its effective tax rate for the full fiscal year and records a quarterly income tax provision based on the anticipated rate and adjusted for discrete taxable events that may occur in the quarter. As the year progresses, the Company will refine its estimate based on facts and circumstances by each tax jurisdiction.

Income tax benefit was $225 and $234, and the effective tax rate (ETR) was 17.02% and 17.85% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. Our ETR is different from the expected tax rate due to state taxes, non-deductible items, research and development credits and excess tax expense associated with stock-based compensation items. The year-to-date rate includes the recognition of unfavorable discrete items.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, income tax expense was estimated at $1,399 and $2,433 and the ETR was 27.00% and 25.73%, respectively.

On July 4, 2025, U.S. enacted H.R. 1 “A bill to provide for reconciliation pursuant to Title II of H. Con. Res 14,” commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Changes in tax laws may affect recorded deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities and our effective tax rate in the future and we continue to evaluate the impacts the new legislation will have on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As a result of the enactment of H.R. 1, we anticipate an impact to the deferred tax liability and the income tax payable related to the provisions for 100% bonus depreciation for assets placed in service after January 19, 2025 and full expensing of domestic research and experimental expenditures. The impact of such evaluations will be reflected in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the period ending September 30, 2025.

Uncertain Tax Positions

Based on the Company’s evaluation, there is one unrecognized tax benefit requiring recognition in its financial statements as of June 30, 2025. Any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recorded in income tax expense (benefit) on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The entire balance of unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2025, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate.

The Company files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and in various state and local jurisdictions. Federal tax returns for tax years beginning January 1, 2021, and state tax returns beginning January 1, 2020, are open for examination.
