Income Taxes Income Taxes
The Company regularly evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets by considering all available positive and negative evidence, including consideration of future taxable income. Primarily due to the Company’s history of incurred net losses, the Company maintains a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, as it is not more likely than not that these assets will be realized. Thus, the Company has not recognized material provisions or benefits for income taxes.
The Company’s tax provision and resulting effective tax rate for interim periods are determined using the estimated annual effective tax rate (“AETR”), which is updated each quarter and adjusted for discrete items recognized in the period. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the AETR reflects expected taxable income of Evolv UK, consistent with its intercompany transfer pricing policy. The forecast is consistent with year-to-date actual results through March 31, 2026, and excludes any mark-to-market adjustments. While the overall tax provision remains immaterial due to the Company's full valuation allowance, a portion of the prior-year net operating losses of Evolv UK expected to be utilized is subject to uncertainty. As a result, a corresponding unrecognized tax benefit has been included within the AETR.
The Company's income tax provision reflects an estimate of federal, state, and foreign income taxes based on enacted tax rates in the jurisdictions in which we operate. The provision is adjusted for the impact of allowable tax credits and deductions, uncertain tax positions, changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities, and changes in tax law. The Company has historically incurred net operating losses.
