Note 13. Income Taxes

The Company determines its interim tax provision by applying the estimated effective income tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year to its income (loss) before income taxes for the period. The Company’s effective tax rate is dependent on several factors, such as tax rates in state jurisdictions and the relative amount of income the Company earns in the respective jurisdiction.

The Company recorded income tax expense of less than $0.1 million during each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and the Company’s effective tax rate was an expense of 0.2% for each of the respective periods. The Company’s effective tax rate during the three months ended March 31, 2026 differed from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state taxes and net operating loss carryforwards. The valuation allowance recorded against the Company’s net deferred tax assets was $133.0 million as of March 31, 2026.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company continues to have a full valuation allowance recorded against its net deferred tax assets and will continue to evaluate its valuation allowance in future periods for any change in circumstances that causes a change in judgment about the realizability of the deferred tax assets. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could be adjusted in future periods if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are increased, if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present, and if the Company employs tax planning strategies in the future.

The Internal Revenue Code (the “IRC”) contains provisions that limit the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that a company may use in a given year in the event of certain cumulative changes in ownership over a three-year period as described in Section 382 of the IRC. As a result of the Company’s registered direct offering in January 2026, the Company determined that an ownership change occurred as of January 13, 2026. Consequently, the Company’s ability to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards that existed as of January 13, 2026 is subject to annual limitations. To the extent that any single-year limitation is not utilized to the full amount of the limitation, such unused amounts are carried over to subsequent years until the earlier of utilization or the expiration of the relevant carryforward period.
