INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXES
The Company calculates the provision for income taxes during interim periods by applying an estimated annual effective tax rate to “ordinary” income or loss (pretax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items) for the reporting period. Our effective tax rate may be subject to fluctuations during the year due to impacts from the following items: (i) changes in forecasted pre-tax and taxable income or loss, (ii) changes in statutory law or regulations in jurisdictions where we operate, (iii) audits or settlements with taxing authorities, and (iv) changes in valuation allowance assumptions.
The Company’s income tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 is a benefit of $31.5 million and $26.9 million, respectively, and expense of $1.3 million and $1.8 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. The income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily represents a discrete benefit from the recognition of deferred tax assets following the Recombination and additional R&D credits identified upon completion of the R&D tax credit study.
In July 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBB Act”) was enacted, introducing amendments to U.S. tax laws with various effective dates from 2025 to 2027. The changes introduced by the OBBB Act did not have a material impact on our annual effective tax rate for 2025.
At September 30, 2025 the Company maintained a partial valuation allowance against its federal and state deferred tax assets, compared to a full valuation at December 31, 2024. The partial release during the three months ended September 30, 2025 is triggered by the Recombination combined with strong year to date and forecasted earnings. Management will continue to assess the realizability of deferred tax assets in future periods.
The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition at the effective date to be recognized.
The Company’s operations and resulting income taxes are calculated as if the Company filed a combined, separate federal income tax return until the Recombination. All tax years since inception are subject to examination by tax authorities, though the Company is currently not under examination by any federal or state jurisdiction.
