The Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate for 2026 before discrete items is expected to be approximately 20%. The Company’s global effective tax rate is lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the benefit from Foreign-Derived Deduction Eligible Income (FDDEI) and R&D credits. The benefits are mostly offset by differences in foreign income tax rates and nondeductible expenses. The ultimate tax expense will depend on the mix of earnings in various jurisdictions. Income taxes, net of refunds, of $3.3 million and $1.7 million were paid during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Management assesses the need for a valuation allowance on a regular basis, weighing all positive and negative evidence to determine whether a deferred tax asset will be fully or partially realized. In evaluating the realizability of deferred tax assets, significant pieces of negative evidence such as 3-year cumulative losses are considered. Management also reviews reversal patterns of temporary differences to determine if the Company would have sufficient taxable income due to the reversal of temporary differences to support the realization of deferred tax assets.
