The impact of stock-based compensation on the effective tax rate is driven by changes in our stock price from when equity awards are granted as compared to when the awards vest and non-deductible awards. We elected to change the tax status of certain

foreign subsidiaries which required approval from the taxing jurisdiction. The benefit of the tax status change was included in our financial statements upon the receipt of such approvals which occurred during fiscal year 2025. The impact of the goodwill impairment charge on the effective tax rate represents the portion of the goodwill impairment that does not have a corresponding tax basis.

Components of Deferred Tax Assets
