At December 31, 2024, Federated Hermes had deferred tax assets related to state and foreign tax net operating loss carryforwards in certain taxing jurisdictions in the aggregate of $110.7 million. The state net operating losses will expire through 2044, while most foreign net operating losses do not expire. A valuation allowance has been recognized for $38.3 million (or 99.6%) of the deferred tax asset for state tax net operating losses, and for $62.0 million (or 85.7%) of the deferred tax asset for foreign tax net operating losses. The valuation allowances were recorded due to management’s belief that it is more likely than not that Federated Hermes will not realize the full benefit of these net operating losses. For the deferred tax asset, net of valuation allowance related to foreign net operating losses, management has relied on future reversals of temporary taxable differences to support the realizable portion of the deferred tax asset. At December 31, 2023, Federated Hermes had deferred tax assets related to state and foreign tax net operating loss carryforwards in certain taxing jurisdictions in the aggregate of $95.7 million. The state net operating losses will expire through 2043, while most foreign net operating losses do not expire. A valuation allowance has been recognized for $40.8 million (or 99.8%) of the deferred tax asset for state tax net operating losses, and for $35.5 million (or 64.7%) of the deferred tax asset for foreign tax net operating losses. The valuation allowances were recorded due to management’s belief that it is more likely than not that Federated Hermes will not realize the full benefit of these net operating losses. For the deferred tax asset, net of valuation allowance related to foreign net operating losses, management believes that it is more likely than not that it will realize the benefit of these net operating losses based on projections of future taxable income for the entities to which these relate. Federated Hermes’ remaining deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 primarily related to lease liabilities reported pursuant to ASC 842 and U.S. compensation-related expenses that have been recognized for book purposes but are not yet deductible for tax purposes. Management believes that it is more likely than not that Federated Hermes will receive the full benefit of these deferred tax assets due to the expectation that Federated Hermes will generate taxable income well in excess of these amounts in the years they become deductible. Federated Hermes and its subsidiaries file annual income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. state and local jurisdictions, and in certain foreign jurisdictions. Based upon its review of these filings, there were no material unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2024 or 2023. Therefore, there were no material changes during 2024, and no reasonable possibility of a significant increase or decrease in unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months. Federated Hermes’ U.S. federal tax returns for tax years 2021 to 2024 remain open to examination, while filings in its major state tax jurisdictions from tax years 2020 to 2024 generally remain open to examination.
