On July 4, 2025, the President signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”). The OBBBA includes numerous changes to existing tax law including extending or making permanent certain business and international tax measures initially established under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which were set to expire. 
The OBBBA permanently eliminates the requirement to capitalize and amortize U.S.-based research and experimental expenditures over five years, making these expenditures fully deductible in the period incurred. We have accounted for the effects of OBBBA in the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2025, of which the primary impact is a reduction of current income tax liabilities and a corresponding reduction to income tax expense. Additionally, we anticipate that these provisions will enhance cash flows, as they reduce our overall tax liability. However, given the complexity of tax laws, related regulations, and evolving interpretations, our estimates may require revision as additional information becomes available regarding the application of the OBBBA provisions. We will continue to analyze the downstream implications of the OBBBA on state regulations and will reflect their impact on the financial statements in the period of enactment.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the primary difference between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate is driven by federal, state and foreign tax expense, offset by the benefit of net operating losses utilized during the period and the full valuation allowance we established on our federal, state, and certain foreign deferred tax assets and the income tax benefits of the OBBBA. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the primary difference between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate is due to the benefit of net operating losses utilized during the periods and the full valuation allowance we established on our federal, state and certain foreign deferred tax assets.
The tax benefit of net operating losses, temporary differences and credit carryforwards is required to be recorded as an asset to the extent that management assesses that realization is "more likely than not." Realization of the future tax benefits is dependent on our ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carryforward period. A high degree of judgment is required to determine if, and the extent to which, valuation allowances should be recorded against deferred tax assets. In making such determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. Based on all available evidence as of September 30, 2025, both positive and negative, and the weight of that evidence to the extent such evidence can be objectively verified, management believes that recognition of the deferred tax assets arising from the above-mentioned future tax benefits is currently not more likely than not to be realized, and, accordingly, has provided a valuation allowance.
