Previous wording
Given the Company's recent history of profitability, it is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months sufficient positive evidence may become available to support a conclusion that a substantial portion of the valuation allowance is no longer needed. The exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to significant judgment and continued analysis of the positive and negative evidence. Release of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and a decrease to income tax expense for the period the release is recorded.

The newly enacted 2025 Tax Act has multiple effective dates, with certain changes taking effect during our fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. The estimated impact of provisions taking effect during fiscal 2026 has been reflected in the provision for income taxes for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The 2025 Tax Act caused a material decrease in the Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended September 30, 2025. We also expect a material decrease in cash tax payments for fiscal 2026 due to the new law. Given the complexity and various upcoming effective dates of the 2025 Tax Act, we are still in the process of assessing its impact on our consolidated financial statements. The final impact may differ from our current estimates based on further analysis, regulatory guidance, and any legislative changes.

These accounting principles require management to make certain judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The consolidated financial statements in the 2025 Annual Report include a summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations filed as part of the 2025 Annual Report contains a discussion of the policies that management has identified as the most critical because they require management’s use of complex and/or significant judgments.

G&A expenses were $33.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $1.8 million, or 5.7%, compared to the same period a year ago, and are 16.6% of total revenues compared to 16.9% in the prior year. The increase is primarily due to professional services (increased $2.7 million) largely related to litigation costs, including those associated with the class action lawsuit, and fees in support of strategic corporate initiatives, and incentive compensation (increased $1.4 million) offset partially by stock-based compensation expense (decreased $2.2 million).
