7.  INCOME TAXES

The Company generally determines its periodic income tax expense or benefit based upon the current period income or loss and the annual estimated tax rate for the Company adjusted for discrete items including changes to prior period estimates. In certain instances, the Company uses the discrete method when it believes the actual year-to-date effective rate provides a more reliable estimate of its income tax rate for the period. The estimated tax rate is revised, if necessary, at the end of each successive interim period to the Company’s current annual estimated tax rate.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the effective rate reflects a provision of 41.3% compared to a provision of 17.8% for the comparable period in the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the effective rate reflects a provision of 34.5% compared to a provision of 20.5% for the comparable period in the prior year. The increase in effective tax rate is primarily due to Acquisition related employment costs which both contributed to a lower pre-tax income and included a non-deductible component.

On July 4, 2025, the United States Congress passed budget reconciliation bill H.R. 1 referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”). The OBBBA contains several changes to corporate taxation including modifications to capitalization of research and development expenses, limitations on deductions for interest expense and accelerated depreciation on fixed asset additions. As the legislation was signed into law after the close of our second quarter, our operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2025, does not include any adjustments related to it. The Company is in the process of evaluating the OBBBA and has not estimated its financial impact at this time.
