In assessing the ability to realize deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As of August 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had a valuation allowance of $0.5 million related to deferred tax assets in a jurisdiction where the Company does not expect to realize the deferred benefit. The Company intends to reinvest earnings of its foreign subsidiaries to maintain sufficient working capital and other investment needs. Additional earnings are not considered permanently reinvested, and the Company will record a deferred tax liability associated with any withholding taxes when these earnings are generated. The deferred tax liability associated with such withholding taxes is not significant as of August 31, 2025. The Company continues to evaluate its global cash requirements and may adjust its reinvestment assertions in future periods based on changes in business strategy, cash requirements, or tax law. The Company recognizes tax benefits only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon settlement. Unrecognized tax benefits are tax benefits claimed in the Company’s tax returns that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits at August 31, 2025 and 2024 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. While it is expected that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next twelve months as a result of the expiration of statutes of limitations, the Company does not expect this change to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position. The Company files income tax returns in the United States and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to income tax examination by US federal and most state tax authorities for tax years prior to fiscal 2021. Other major jurisdictions where we conduct business generally have statutes of limitations ranging from three to six years.
