Prepaid income tax

Mexican tax statutes specify that the current year tax prepayments be calculated based on a coefficient for prior year earnings, regardless of current year results. Starting in the third quarter of each year, these same statutes allow companies to request a reduction of the coefficient, which adjusts for losses experienced in the current year. During 2023, DDGM had to prepay approximately 76 million pesos despite the losses for the year. In 2024, some of these overpayments were reconciled and used to offset the required 2024 tax prepayments. Due to the 2024 losses, no income tax payments are expected in 2025. On May 7, 2025, the Company received the previously disclosed tax refund of 76 million pesos from the overpayment of Mexico taxes by DDGM in 2023, plus an inflation adjustment, for a total of 79.6 million pesos (approximately $4.0 million).

Other current assets

A value-added (“IVA”) tax in Mexico is assessed on the sales of products and purchases of materials and services. Businesses owe IVA taxes as the business sells a product and collects IVA taxes from its customers. Likewise, businesses are generally entitled to recover the taxes they have paid related to purchases of materials and services, either as a refund or credit to IVA tax payable. Amounts recorded as IVA taxes in the consolidated financial statements represent the net estimated IVA tax payable or receivable, since there is a legal right of offset of IVA taxes. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, this resulted in a liability balance in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $1.2 million and an asset balance in other current assets of $0.5 million, respectively.
