INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate for each of the periods reported differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to variation in contribution to consolidated pre-tax income from each jurisdiction for the respective periods, differences between the U.S. and foreign tax rates (which range from 20% to 32%), permanent differences between book and taxable income, and income or loss attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interest holder.

Arcadia Products is treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes. With the exception of certain state taxes, income or loss flows through to the shareholders and is taxed at the shareholder level. Tax impacts related to income or loss from Arcadia Products that are included in consolidated pretax results but are attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interest holder are not included in the consolidated income tax provision.

We assess the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use existing deferred tax assets. Additionally, a three-year cumulative loss at a consolidated financial statement level may be viewed as negative evidence impacting a jurisdiction that by itself is not in a three-year cumulative loss position. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we were in a three-year cumulative loss position at the consolidated financial statement level, driven by historical losses in the U.S. primarily related to the impairment of Arcadia Products’ goodwill in 2024. Accordingly, we have maintained the previously established valuation allowance against the corresponding net deferred tax assets in the U.S. as of June 30, 2025. The Company will continue to monitor the realizability of deferred tax assets and the need for valuation allowances and will record adjustments in the periods in which facts support such changes.

DMC files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, as well as various U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions. Our tax provisions reflect our best estimate of state, local, federal and foreign taxes. In 2024, tax audits in Germany of both our NobelClad and DynaEnergetics subsidiaries commenced for the years 2019 through 2021. While the audits are not unexpected, the outcomes cannot be predicted with certainty. If any issues addressed in the Company’s tax audits are resolved in a manner not consistent with our expectations, the Company could be required to adjust its provisions for income taxes in the period such resolution occurs.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law. The OBBBA includes significant tax provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. We are currently assessing the impact of the OBBBA on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
