A s of May 31, 2025, we had foreign tax credit carryforwards of $7.6 million, which expire at various dates through fiscal 2034. Additionally, as of May 31, 2025, we had approximately $1.1 million of net tax benefits associated with state and local net operating loss carryforwards, some of which expire at various dates beginning in fiscal 2026. As of May 31, 2025, we had foreign net operating losses of approximately $93.2 million and interest deduction carryforwards of approximately $91.6 million, totaling approximately $184.8 million. Of these carryforward amounts, approximately $18.9 million will expire at various dates beginning in fiscal 2026 and approximately $165.9 million have an indefinite carryforward period. Additionally, as of May 31, 2025, we had foreign capital loss carryforwards of approximately $25.4 million that can be carried forward indefinitely. When evaluating the realizability of deferred income tax assets, we consider, among other items, whether a jurisdiction has experienced cumulative pretax losses and whether a jurisdiction will generate the appropriate character of income to recognize a deferred income tax asset. More specifically, if a jurisdiction experiences cumulative pretax losses for a period of three years, including the current fiscal year, or if a jurisdiction does not have sufficient income of the appropriate character in the relevant carryback or projected carryforward periods, we generally conclude that it is more likely than not that the respective deferred tax asset will not be realized unless factors such as expected operational changes, availability of prudent and feasible tax planning strategies, reversal of taxable temporary differences or other information exists that would lead us to conclude otherwise. If, after we have evaluated these factors, the deferred income tax assets are not expected to be realized within the carryforward or carryback periods allowed for that jurisdiction, we would conclude that a valuation allowance is required. Total valuation allowances approximating $49.2 and $30.0 million have b een recorded as of May 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These recorded valuation allowances relate primarily to certain foreign net operating losses, certain state net operating losses, U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards and other net foreign deferred tax assets. The fiscal 2025 provision for income taxes includes incremental benefits of the U.S. deduction for foreign derived intangible income and the foreign tax rate differential associated with certain global capital structure initiatives. Additionally, during fiscal 2025, following developments in U.S. tax case law, we assessed certain of our income tax positions and recorded a deferred tax adjustment totaling $43.9 million, which represents an increase to our deferred income tax assets for U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards. The following table reconciles income tax expense (benefit) computed by applying the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate against income (loss) before income taxes to the provision (benefit) for income taxes:

Uncertain income tax positions are accounted for in accordance with ASC 740. The following table summarizes the activity related to unrecognized tax benefits:
(In millions) |  | 2025 |  |  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |

Balance at May 31 |  | $ | 1.6 |  |  | $ | 4.4 |  |  | $ | 2.9 |
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would impact the effective tax rate, if recognized, at May 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $1.6 million, $4.4 million and $2.9 million, respectively. We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. At May 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the accrual for interest and penalties was $0.6 million, $3.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively. Unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, have been classified as other long-term liabilities unless expected to be paid in one year. We file income tax returns in the United States and in various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. With limited exceptions, we are subject to federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for fiscal 2018 through 2025. Our fiscal 2023 U.S. federal income tax return is currently under examination. Additionally, we are currently under examination, or have been notified of an upcoming tax examination, for various non-U.S. and domestic state and local jurisdictions. Although it is possible that certain tax examinations could be resolved during the next 12 months, the timing and outcomes are uncertain. As of May 31, 2025, we have approximately $164.7 million of unremitted foreign earnings that are not considered to be permanently reinvested. There is no deferred income tax liability associated with these earnings. We have not provided for U.S. income taxes or foreign withholding taxes on the remaining $1.1 billion of foreign unremitted earnings because such earnings have been retained and reinvested by the foreign subsidiaries as of May 31, 2025. Accordingly, no provision has been made for U.S. income taxes or foreign withholding taxes, which may become payable if the remaining unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries were distributed to the United States. Due to the uncertainties and complexities involved in the various options for repatriation of foreign earnings, it is not practical to calculate the deferred taxes associated with the remaining foreign earnings. On December 15, 2022, the European Union (“EU”) Member States formally adopted the EU’s Pillar Two Directive, which generally provides for a minimum effective tax rate of 15%, as established by The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Pillar Two Framework (“P2”). The EU effective dates are January 1, 2024, and January 1, 2025, for different aspects of the directive. Individual countries have and may continue to enact rules that are different than P2. We determined that it does not have a material P2 impact for the year ended May 31, 2025. While we continue to monitor P2 developments, we do not anticipate that P2 will have a material impact on our long-term financial position. On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “Act”) was enacted in the U.S. The Act includes significant changes to corporate income tax provisions. Certain changes include immediate expensing for most business assets acquired, including nonresidential U.S. real property, and a temporary suspension of the requirement to capitalize and amortize R&D expenditures. The Act also includes certain changes to international tax provisions. We are in the process of reviewing the Act in detail and evaluating its impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
