Income Taxes

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income taxes as well as state taxes. The Company’s income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $0.1 million representing foreign withholding taxes accrued in connection with revenue recorded under license agreements with foreign entities. The Company did not record an income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company did not record an income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Management has evaluated the positive and negative evidence surrounding the realization of its deferred tax assets, including the Company’s history of losses, and under the applicable accounting standards determined that it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The difference between the effective tax rate of the Company and the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% on September 30, 2024, is due to the valuation allowance against the Company’s expected net operating losses.

As discussed in Note 9, the Company is party to a tax receivable agreement with a related party which provides for the payment by the Company to M&F (or certain of its transferees or other assignees) of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that the Company actually realizes (or, in some circumstances, the Company is deemed to realize) as a result of certain transactions. As no transactions have occurred which would trigger a liability under this agreement, the Company has not recognized any liability related to this agreement as of September 30, 2024.
