INCOME TAXES

The Company is subject to U.S. federal and state taxes with respect to its allocable share of any taxable income or loss of Holdings as well as any stand-alone income or loss it generates. Holdings is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes and generally does not pay income taxes in most jurisdictions. Instead, Holdings’ taxable income or loss is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including the Company. Despite its status as a partnership in the U.S., Holdings’ foreign subsidiaries are taxable entities operating in foreign jurisdictions. As such, these foreign subsidiaries may record a tax expense or benefit in jurisdictions where a valuation allowance has not been recorded.

On December 13, 2021, the Company entered into a tax receivable agreement with the then-existing non-controlling interest holders (the “TRA”) that provides payments to be made to non-controlling interest holders of approximately 85% of the amount of any tax benefits realized by the Company as a result of increases in the Company’s share of the tax basis in the net assets of Holdings resulting from any redemptions of member units in exchange for Class A common stock or cash as well as tax basis increases attributable to payments made under the TRA. The Company expects to benefit from the remaining 15% of any tax benefits realized. During the year

ended December 31, 2023, there were exchanges of units that would generate a deferred tax asset of $23.8 million for the Company and a liability under the TRA of $18.9 million. However, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 the Company executed settlement agreements to resolve both the Donovitz Litigation and the June 5, 2024 Litigation, defined herein, pursuant to which the Company acquired certain membership units. The acquisition of these membership units resulted in a reduction in the deferred tax asset and liability under the TRA of $20.3 million and $17.3 million, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Additionally, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, 1,946,408 units were redeemed which resulted in an increase in the tax basis of the Company’s investment in Holdings and generated additional deferred tax assets of $3.6 million and a liability under the TRA of $2.8 million. Please refer to Note 19. Commitments and Contingencies for additional information regarding the Donovitz Litigation and the June 5, 2024 Litigation.

On a quarterly basis, the Company estimates the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full year and makes changes, if necessary, based on new information or events. The estimated annual effective tax rate is forecasted based on actual historical information and forward-looking estimates and is used to provide for income taxes in interim reporting periods. The Company also recognizes the tax impact of certain unusual or infrequently occurring items, such as the effects of changes in tax laws or rates and impacts from settlements with tax authorities, discretely in the quarter in which they occur. The Company recorded income tax expense of $0.2 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $2.7 million and $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Company continues to evaluate its deferred tax assets each period to determine if a valuation allowance is required based on whether it is more likely than not that some portion of these deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of June 30, 2024, the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that a substantial portion of the Company’s federal deferred tax assets will be realized. As part of the Company’s analysis, it considered both positive and negative factors that impact profitability and whether those factors would lead to a change in the estimate of its deferred tax assets that may be realized in the future. However, based on the Company’s analysis, it has recorded a valuation allowance on the foreign deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2024. The Company will continue to assess the likelihood of the realization of its deferred tax assets and the valuation allowance will be adjusted accordingly.
