11. Income Taxes
On July 4, 2025, the United States enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) which extended or modified certain corporate tax provisions under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”). The OBBBA modified certain business deductions, including allowing for immediate expensing of U.S. research & development (“R&D”) expenditures, effective in the Company’s current fiscal year. The OBBBA also modified various international tax provisions which were set to change or expire after 2025 under the TCJA. Such modifications, including U.S. taxation of profits derived from foreign operations and associated foreign tax credit limitations, are effective in this fiscal year. The immediate expensing of U.S. R&D expenditures had a favorable impact on the Company’s domestic tax liability. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of the OBBBA on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
For the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded income tax expense of $2.0 million and $2.5 million on pretax loss of $3.5 million and $33.7 million, respectively. The income tax expense for the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025 was primarily related to the Company’s foreign operations.
The Company's provision for income taxes is based on its worldwide estimated annualized effective tax rate, except for jurisdictions for which a loss is expected for the year and no benefit can be realized for those losses, jurisdictions for which forecasted pre-tax income or loss cannot be estimated, and the tax effect of discrete items occurring during the period. The tax for jurisdictions that are excluded from the worldwide estimated annual effective tax rate is calculated separately.
Under the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, the determination of the Company’s ability to recognize its deferred tax asset requires an assessment of both negative and positive evidence when determining the Company’s ability to recognize its deferred tax assets. As in prior years, the Company maintained that it was not more likely than not that the Company could recognize deferred tax assets in certain jurisdictions. All attributes agreed upon in the BAPA, including U.S. federal and state tax net operating losses (“NOLs”) and credits, as well as Netherlands NOLs, are not yet recognized due to the determination that they are not more likely than not to be realized. The evidence evaluated by the Company included operating results during the most recent three-year period and future projections. More weight was given to historical results than to expectations of future profitability, which are inherently uncertain. Certain entities’ net losses in recent periods represented sufficient negative evidence to require a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. This valuation allowance will be evaluated periodically and could be reversed partially or totally if business results have sufficiently improved to support realization of deferred tax assets.
As of April 30, 2026, unrecognized tax benefits were $31.5 million, of which $10.8 million would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. As of January 31, 2026, the unrecognized tax benefits were $31.3 million, of which $10.6 million would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. The Company is unable to reasonably estimate the timing of the remaining long-term payments or the amount by which the liability will increase or decrease.
It is the Company's policy to classify accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. Accrued interest and penalties were $7.3 million as of April 30, 2026 and $7.2 million as of January 31, 2026, respectively.
As of April 30, 2026, the Company’s U.S. federal 2018 through 2025 tax years were open and subject to potential examination in one or more jurisdictions. In addition, in the United States, any net operating losses or credits that were generated in prior years but not yet fully utilized in a year that is closed under the statute of limitations may also be subject to examination. The Company’s Netherlands tax years are currently open from tax years 2019 to 2024, subject to adjustments as a result of the recently negotiated BAPA. The Company believes that it has adequately reserved for the outcome of the BAPA. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from all existing and potential
examinations to determine the adequacy of its provision for income taxes. The Company continues to monitor the progress of ongoing discussions with tax authorities and the effect, if any, of the expected expiration of the statute of limitations in various taxing jurisdictions.
