Current report
On July 22, 2025, our board of directors appointed Tom Conrad as our new Chief Executive Officer, following his tenure as interim Chief Executive Officer since January 13, 2025. Under Mr. Conrad's direction, we have significantly improved our software products, reorganized our operations to improve our efficiency and effectiveness and recommitted to delivering the kind of premium experience our customers expect.

February 2025 (the "2025 restructuring plan") which are expected to result in approximately $20 million in savings during the remainder of fiscal 2025. See Note 13. Restructuring and Other Charges in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements for further information. Furthermore, we remain focused on additional transformation efforts to improve both our operational efficiency and effectiveness. Additionally, during the third quarter of fiscal 2025, we began the process of exiting a partnership with one of our contract manufacturers to consolidate and improve supply chain efficiency. We expect to complete this exit with minimal disruption to our business by the second quarter of fiscal 2026. This exit did not impact the third quarter fiscal 2025. We continue to maintain diversified contract manufacturing partnerships.

Provision for Income Taxes
Current report
We are subject to income taxes in the United States and foreign jurisdictions in which we operate. Foreign jurisdictions have statutory tax rates different from those in the United States. Accordingly, our effective tax rate will vary depending on jurisdictional mix of earnings, and changes in tax laws. In addition, certain U.S. tax regulations subject the earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries to current taxation in the United States. Our effective tax rate will be impacted by our ability to claim deductions and foreign tax credits to offset the taxation of foreign earnings in the United States. On July 4, 2025, H.R.1, commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted. We continue to evaluate the bill's impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Our business and financial performance depend significantly on worldwide economic conditions.

In addition, our business may be adversely impacted by the potential expansion of tariffs on goods imported into the U.S., as well as any retaliatory tariffs or policies enacted in other countries.
