Income Taxes Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $5 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, related to taxable earnings from foreign operations. The income tax expense differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% to the loss before income taxes. This is due to fair value adjustments - derivatives and warrants, Section 162(m) disallowance, foreign operations and pre-tax losses for which no tax benefit can be recognized for U.S. income tax purposes.
The Company estimates and applies the annual effective tax rate to its ordinary earnings each interim period. Any significant unusual or infrequent items are not included in the estimation of the annual effective tax rate; instead, these items and their related income tax expense are separately stated in the interim period in which they occur.
At each balance sheet date, management assesses the likelihood that the Company will be able to realize its deferred tax assets. Management considered all available positive and negative evidence in assessing the need for a valuation allowance. The realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character and in the appropriate taxing jurisdiction during the future periods in which the related temporary differences become deductible. Management has determined that it is unlikely that the Company will be able to utilize its U.S. deferred tax assets at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 due to cumulative losses. Therefore, the Company has a valuation allowance against its net U.S. deferred tax assets.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company has unrecognized tax benefits associated with uncertain tax positions that, if recognized, would not affect the effective tax rate on income from continuing operations. The Company is currently under examination by the IRS related to tax year 2022. The Company is not under examination by any other taxing jurisdictions and none of the unrecognized tax benefits are expected to reverse within the next 12 months.
The Company files income tax returns in U.S. federal and various state jurisdictions, as well as in Italy and India. The open tax years for federal returns are 2022 and forward, and open tax years for state returns are generally 2020 and forward. In addition, net operating losses generated in closed years and utilized in open years are subject to adjustment by the tax authorities.
