NOTE 13 — INCOME TAXES

Orion’s income tax provision was determined by applying an estimated annual effective tax rate, based upon the facts and circumstances known, to book income or loss before income tax, adjusting for discrete items. Orion’s actual effective tax rate is adjusted each interim period, as appropriate, for changes in facts and circumstances. Orion recorded income tax benefit of $5 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and income tax expense of $13 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

As of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, Orion had a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset balance. Orion considers future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance. In the event that Orion determines that the deferred tax assets are able to be realized, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period such determination is made.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2027, Orion determined that one of its indefinite-lived trade names no longer had an indefinite life. As such, the corresponding deferred tax liability was reduced in the period. This resulted in a $56 thousand discrete tax benefit for the reduction in valuation allowance on deferred tax assets previously limited by the indefinite-lived deferred tax liability. See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional information.

Uncertain Tax Positions

As of June 30, 2026, Orion’s balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits was approximately $0.3 million, all of which would reduce Orion’s effective tax rate if recognized.

Orion has classified the amounts recorded for uncertain tax benefits in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as Other long-term liabilities to the extent that payment is not anticipated within one year. Orion recognizes penalties and interest related to uncertain tax liabilities in income tax (benefit) expense. Penalties and interest are included in the unrecognized tax benefits.
