Income Taxes Income Taxes
For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $7 million and $13 million on pretax income of $50 million and $185 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025 was approximately 14.0% and 7.1%, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate primarily as a result of a full valuation allowance against the U.S. deferred tax assets, the favorable tax impact of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (the “Act”), the tax effect of foreign operations, and U.S. federal and state taxes.
The Act was enacted on July 4, 2025. The Act, among other provisions, maintains the U.S. federal 21% corporate tax rate, makes permanent the immediate expensing of domestic research and development expenditures, allows for 100% bonus depreciation for qualified assets, and modifies the U.S. taxation of profits
derived from foreign operations. The provisions of the Act have staggered effective dates beginning in 2025 and continuing through 2027. The Company revised its estimated annual effective tax rate upon enactment of the changes in the Act.
For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $9 million and $10 million on a pretax income of $25 million and $15 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024 was approximately 40.4% and 69.6%, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate primarily as a result of a full valuation allowance against the U.S. deferred tax assets, the tax effect of foreign operations, the tax impacts of the Spera Cybersecurity, Inc. and its subsidiary (collectively, “Spera”) integration, and U.S. federal and state taxes.
