Note 15. Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes is calculated by applying an estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date pre-tax income or loss and adjusting for any discrete tax items recognized in the period, in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740-270, Income Taxes — Interim Reporting.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded income tax expense of approximately $4 thousand for each period. In assessing the realizability of its deferred tax assets, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including its history of cumulative losses, projections of future taxable income, the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. As a result of this assessment, the Company continues to conclude that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized as of June 30, 2026, and accordingly continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. There were no material changes to the Company’s valuation allowance position during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

The Company did not recognize any material discrete tax items during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 or 2025. On July 4, 2025, the OBBB Act, which includes a broad range of tax reform provisions, was signed into law in the United States. The Company evaluated the impact of the OBBB Act on its unaudited condensed financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 and determined that it did not have a material impact on its income tax provision or effective tax rate. The Company does not currently expect the OBBB Act to have a material impact on its estimated annual effective tax rate for 2026 and continues to monitor any guidance issued thereunder.

As a result of the Company’s Offering completed in November 2025 (see Note 9), the Company may have experienced an “ownership change” within the meaning of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. If an ownership change has occurred, the Company’s ability to utilize its U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes generated prior to the ownership change to offset future taxable income would be subject to annual limitations. The Company has not completed a formal Section 382 analysis as of the date of these financial statements. Any limitation is not expected to result in additional cash tax expense in the current period given the Company’s continued cumulative loss position and the related full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets associated with the affected attributes.

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no liability for unrecognized tax benefits. There were no material changes to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, and the Company does not expect any material change in the next twelve months.
