Income Taxes

The below discussion of the effective tax rate for the periods presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations is in comparison to the 21% U.S. statutory federal income tax rate.

We had a negative tax rate of 6.2% in the second quarter of 2025 due to tax expense on a pre-tax book loss. Our income tax expense for the second quarter of 2025 of $4.3 million was comprised primarily of an increase in the valuation allowance attributable to loss jurisdictions in which no tax benefit is anticipated to be realized. Our effective tax rate was also unfavorably impacted by the $67.3 million goodwill impairment in curamik® for which no tax benefit is available.

During the second quarter of 2024, our effective tax rate was 31.9%. During the second quarter of 2024, our effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted primarily by the mix of income in higher tax jurisdictions.

We had a negative tax rate of 5.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 due to tax expense on a pre-tax book loss. Our income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025 of $4.1 million was comprised primarily of an increase in the valuation allowance attributable to loss jurisdictions in which no tax benefit is anticipated to be realized. Our effective tax rate was also unfavorably impacted by the $67.3 million goodwill impairment in curamik® for which no tax benefit is available.

For the first six months of 2024, the Company’s effective tax rate on its income before income taxes was 32.3%. The effective rate for the first six months of 2024 was unfavorably impacted by primarily (i) the write-off of deferred tax assets related to stock compensation and, (ii) the mix of income in higher tax rate jurisdictions.

The OECD Pillar 2 guidelines published to date include transition and safe harbor rules around the implementation of the Pillar 2 global minimum tax of 15%. Based on current enacted legislation effective in 2024 and our structure, we do not expect a material impact in 2025. We are monitoring developments and evaluating the impacts these new rules will have on our future effective income tax rate, tax payments, financial condition, and results of operations.
