For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company's state and local income tax expense, net of federal income tax effect, was primarily attributable to income taxes incurred in Georgia and Texas. These states collectively comprised more than 50% of the total state and local income tax expense for the period.

For the period ended December 31, 2025, the primary driver of the variance from the statutory rate was the federal Energy Efficient Home Credit, and deferred true-ups, which were partially offset by uncertain tax benefits.

For the period ended December 31, 2024, the primary driver of the variance from the statutory rate was the federal Energy Efficient Home Credit.

The tax effect of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases that give rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities is as follows:

For the period ended December 31, 2025, the Company does not have any federal or state carryforward tax attributes. Additionally, after weighing up all available and positive and negative evidence for the period ended December 31, 2025, the Company determined no full valuation allowance was necessary, consistent with prior year.

On July 4th, 2025, the President signed into law significant federal tax legislation, H.R.1 (the “One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act” (OBBBA)). The legislation includes numerous changes to U.S. corporate income tax law, including but not limited to: permanent 100% bonus depreciation for qualified property, immediate expensing of domestic research and experimental expenditures, modifications to the limitation on business interest expense, increased Section 179 expensing limits, changes to the international tax regime, and expanded limitations on the deductibility of executive compensation under IRC Section 162(m). Most provisions are effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2024, with certain transition rules and exceptions. The OBBBA did not materially impact the Company’s effective tax rate for the period ended December 31, 2025.

The Company is subject to income tax in multiple jurisdictions, including federal and several states. The Company has federal and state income tax returns that are open to examination from 2022 forward. As a result, the Company continuously monitors its current and prior filing positions in order to determine if any unrecognized tax positions need to be recorded. The analysis involves considerable judgment and is based on the best information available. A reconciliation of the beginning to ending gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

A majority of the unrecognized tax benefit for the period ended December 31, 2025 relates to the recognition of revenue for income tax purposes. The Company has accrued interest expenses related to the unrecognized tax benefits for the periods ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, of $638 and $0, respectively. In addition, the Company has accrued penalties related to the unrecognized tax benefits for the periods ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 of $353 and $0,

respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the unrecognized tax benefits would, if recognized, decrease our effective taxes by $1.7 million.
