Income Taxes

Income taxes were accrued at an estimated effective tax rate of 3% and 25% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to (10)% and (8)% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% principally because of the effect of the mix of U.S. and foreign incomes, section 162(m) excess compensation, federal and state valuation allowance, and tax credits. The effective tax rate during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 included a tax expense of $6.1 million related to the sale of a 60% interest of our IV solutions business. Additionally, there were unrecognized tax benefits released as a result of the expiration of statute of limitations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 of $5.0 million.

The Company regularly assesses the realizability of deferred tax assets and records a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In assessing the realizability of our deferred tax assets, we weigh all available positive and negative evidence. This evidence includes, but is not limited to, historical earnings, scheduled reversal of taxable temporary differences, tax planning strategies and projected future taxable income. Due to the weight of objectively verifiable negative evidence, the Company recorded a change to the valuation allowance against certain

U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets, resulting in a $2.7 million tax benefit and $3.7 million tax expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The significant piece of objectively verifiable negative evidence evaluated was the recent U.S. cumulative losses. The company's ability to use our deferred tax assets depends on the amount of taxable income in future periods. Based on current earnings and anticipated future earnings along with expected changes in our deferred tax asset and liability balances, it is likely that the current valuation allowance position will be adjusted during the year. An additional valuation allowance may be required beyond the current year if future earnings are not sufficient to support the realization of deferred tax assets.

In December 2022, the European Union (EU) agreed to implement Pillar Two, the OECD’s global minimum tax rate of 15% for multinationals that meet a global revenue threshold. All of the EU countries and some of the non-EU countries in which we operate have enacted or have announced plans to enact legislation to adopt Pillar Two. The Pillar Two legislation has been effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2024. For fiscal year 2025, we have considered the impact of Pillar Two on our tax provision and effective tax rate. However, the Pillar Two rules continue to evolve and their application may alter our tax obligations in certain countries in which we operate for fiscal periods beyond 2025 as we continue to assess the impact of tax legislation in these jurisdictions.

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. enacted H.R. 1 "A bill to provide for reconciliation pursuant to Title II of H. Con. Res. 14", commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”). The OBBBA includes significant 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 its impact on our consolidated financial statements as additional guidance becomes available and uncertainty remains regarding the timing and interpretation by tax authorities in affected jurisdictions. As the legislation was signed into law after the close of our second quarter, the impacts are not included in our operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% principally because of the effect of the mix of U.S. and foreign incomes, state income taxes, section 162(m) excess compensation, federal and state valuation allowance, and tax credits. Additionally, there were unrecognized tax benefits released as a result of the expiration of statute of limitations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 of $3.9 million and $4.0 million, respectively.

The Company recorded a valuation allowance of $10.4 million and $20.5 million tax expense, against certain U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The significant piece of objectively verifiable negative evidence evaluated was the recent U.S. cumulative losses.
