Deferred tax assets have been brought to account only to the extent that it is foreseeable that they are recoverable against future tax liabilities. Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are offset against taxable temporary differences (deferred tax liabilities) when the deferred tax balances relate to the same tax jurisdiction in accordance with our accounting policy. Deferred taxes are measured at the rate in which they are expected to settle within the respective jurisdictions, which can change based on factors such as new legislation or timing of utilization and reversal of associated assets and liabilities. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Year Ended June 30, | | (in U.S. dollars, in thousands) | 2026 | | 2025 | | 2024 | | (c) | Amounts that would be recognized directly in equity if brought to account | | | | | | | Aggregate current and deferred tax arising in the reporting period and not recognized in net loss or other comprehensive income but which would have been directly applied to equity had it been brought to account: | | | | | | | Current tax recorded in equity (if brought to account) | (128) | | | (1,514) | | | (1,329) | | | Deferred tax recorded in equity (if brought to account) | 881 | | | 881 | | | 1,029 | | | | 753 | | | (633) | | | (300) | |

The Group has not brought to account $648.0 million (2025: $597.1 million, 2024: $620.6 million) of gross tax losses, which includes the benefit arising from tax losses in overseas countries. As of June 30, 2026 $648.0 million of tax losses not brought to account have an indefinite life. Gross tax losses of $44.5 million within deferred tax assets recognized expire within a range of 7 to 12 years. The benefits of unused tax losses will only be brought to account when it is probable that they will be realized. This benefit of tax losses will only be obtained if: •the Group derives future assessable income of a nature and an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions for the losses to be realized; •the Group continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation; and •no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Group in realizing the benefit from the deductions for the losses.
