Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Oct 30, 2026
- We will continue to monitor and evaluate risks related to geopolitical tensions and trade conflicts and any resulting impact on macroeconomic conditions and our business.
- In connection with facilitating the Redomiciliation, the Company recognized a tax benefit from the reduction of a valuation allowance on certain foreign deferred tax assets that are expected to be used in future periods.
- As a result, beginning the second quarter of 2026, the Company’s effective tax rate decreased, and is expected to be followed by an increase in future periods in which the foreign deferred tax asset is utilized.
- We will maintain our positions with regard to future realization of deferred tax assets, including those with respect to which we continue maintaining valuation allowances, until there is sufficient new evidence to support a change in expectations.
- Such a change in expectations could arise due to many factors, including those impacting our forecasts of future earnings, as well as changes in the international tax laws under which we operate and tax planning.
- It is not reasonably possible to forecast any such changes at the present time, but it is possible that, should they arise, our view of their effect on the future realization of deferred tax assets may materially impact our financial statements.
- We expect to finance our future cash requirements with cash on hand, cash flows from operations and, where necessary, borrowings under our secured revolving credit facility.
- We do not anticipate any material long-term deterioration in our overall liquidity position in the foreseeable future, and believe that we have adequate liquidity and capital resources for the next twelve months.
