8. Income Taxes

The Company conducts business globally and, as a result, files federal, state and foreign tax returns. The Company strives to resolve open matters with each tax authority at the examination level and could reach agreement with a tax authority at any time. While the Company has accrued for amounts it believes are the probable outcomes, the final outcome with a tax authority may result in a tax liability that is more or less than that reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, the Company may later decide to challenge any assessments, if made, and may exercise its right to appeal.

The Company applies the provisions of, and accounted for uncertain tax positions, in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

The Company generally is no longer subject to tax examinations for years prior to 2017. However, if loss carryforwards of tax years prior to 2017 are utilized in the U.S., these tax years may become subject to investigation by the tax authorities. While timing of the resolution and/or finalization of tax audits is uncertain, the Company does not believe that its unrecognized tax benefits would materially change in the next 12 months.

On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (the “Act”) into law. The $1.9 trillion Act includes COVID-19 relief, as well as broader stimulus, but also includes several revenue-raising and business tax provisions. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) also includes several significant provisions for corporations, including the usage of net operating losses and payroll benefits. Several foreign (non-U.S.) jurisdictions in which the Company operates have taken similar economic stimulus measures. The Act and the CARES Act had no material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

The Inflation Reduction Act (the “IRA”) was signed into the law on August 16, 2022. The IRA provides for a minimum tax on certain corporations having more than $1 billion in revenue, excise taxes on share buybacks and changes to various types of tax credits. The Company believes the IRA will have little to no effect on the Company’s income taxes. The Company will continue to assess as the provisions are clarified.
