•Our latest projections regarding the impact of tariffs and our strategies for mitigating such impact;

Current report

During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, the Network and Service Enablement (NSE) business grew year-over-year driven by recovery and growth across many of our product segments. OSP performance slightly improved year over year. We continue to monitor the demand for anti-counterfeiting products and are starting to see a demand supply equilibrium emerge in the anti-counterfeiting business.

Current report

In April 2025, the U.S. administration announced broad-based, updated global tariffs and the situation continues to be dynamic and evolving. As we operate in this challenging environment, we are focused on continuing to deliver our products and services to our customers. Given our global business, tariffs will result in additional cost for us and our suppliers. We are analyzing ways to optimize our operations and supply chain and strategies to reduce the impact from tariffs. Additionally, we are taking measures to control cost and implementing pricing actions to primarily mitigate the remaining impact.

The income tax provision recorded differs from the expected tax provision that would be calculated by applying the federal statutory rate to our income from continuing operations before taxes primarily due to changes in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets attributable to our domestic and foreign income from continuing operations and our acquisition of Inertial Labs.

Previous wording

Asof December 28, 2024, and June 29, 2024, our unrecognized tax benefits (net of Federal benefits) totaled $51.1 million and $50.7 million, respectively, and are included in deferred taxes and other non-current tax liabilities. We had $4.0 million accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of December 28, 2024. The timing and resolution of income tax examinations are uncertain, and the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of issues raised by the taxing authorities maydiffer from the amounts accrued for each year. Although we do not expect that our balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months, given the uncertainty in the development of ongoing income tax examinations, we are unable to estimate the full range of possible adjustments to this balance.

Current wording

Asof March 29, 2025, and June 29, 2024, our unrecognized tax benefits (net of Federal benefits) totaled $52.2 million and $50.7 million, respectively, and are included in deferred taxes and other non-current tax liabilities. We had $4.5 million accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of March 29, 2025. The timing and resolution of income tax examinations are uncertain, and the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of issues raised by the taxing authorities maydiffer from the amounts accrued for each year. Although we do not expect that our balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months, given the uncertainty in the development of ongoing income tax examinations, we are unable to estimate the full range of possible adjustments to this balance.
