The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 29, 2026 was $0.4 million or an effective tax rate of 2.7% . The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 30, 2025 was $0.5 million or an effective tax rate of (150.8)%. Provision for income taxes decreased for the three months ended March 29, 2026, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the elimination of the mandatory capitalization of research and development expenses, resulting in higher current deductions, lower taxable income and a reduced income tax provision. The lower effective tax rate for the three months ended March 29, 2026, compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate, is primarily driven by lower tax rate on foreign earnings and valuation allowance on our net U.S. deferred tax assets and certain foreign tax attributes.

We evaluated the realizability of deferred tax assets on a jurisdictional basis in accordance with ASC 740 Income taxes. A valuation allowance is maintained when it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of March 29, 2026, we continue to maintain a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets at both federal and state levels. In making this determination, we considered all available positive and negative evidence, with greater weight given to objectively verifiable evidence.

Although we have recently generated cumulative pre-tax income, we determined that we have not yet demonstrated a sustained level of profitability sufficient to support realization of the deferred tax assets. We also considered forecasted future taxable income; however, such projections are inherently uncertain and do not outweigh the available negative evidence. Based on the totality of evidence, we concluded that it is not more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been maintained as of March 29, 2026. There is a reasonable possibility that within the next few quarters, sufficient positive evidence will become available to reach a conclusion that all or a significant portion of the valuation allowance against our U.S. net deferred tax assets would no longer be required.
