On July 4, 2025, the U.S. government enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBB”). The bill includes extensions of current tax provisions and makes many significant tax changes. Most of the provisions enacted by the OBBB take effect in fiscal year 2025 to 2027. The Company expects no material adverse impact related to the OBBB in fiscal 2026. The Company will continue to monitor OBBB developments and update the potential impacts on its consolidated financial statements as new information becomes available.
