The Company will continue to assess all available evidence during future periods to evaluate any changes to the realization of its deferred tax assets. If the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize additional state deferred tax assets in the future, it would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB) was signed into law, which includes a broad range of tax reform provisions that may affect the Company's financial results. The OBBB allows an elective deduction for domestic research and development, and a reinstatement of elective 100% first-year bonus depreciation, among other provisions. The Company has evaluated the impact of these provisions on the Company’s effective tax rate in fiscal year 2025 and forward and has determined that it does not have a material impact.

As a result of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the Company must amortize amounts paid or incurred for specified research and development expenditures, including software development expenses, ratably over 60 months, beginning at the mid-point of the tax year in which the expenditures are paid or incurred.

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 was 19.9% and differs from the statutory tax rate primarily due to the effect of state income taxes, tax credits, temporary tax differences related to stock based compensation and certain non-deductible expenses.
