    Income TaxesThe Company’s effective tax rate on continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the projected mix of earnings or loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest, anticipated state statutory income tax rates, and the impact of discrete tax items, which includes changes in the valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets.FOA is taxed as a corporation and is subject to U.S. federal, state, and local taxes on the income allocated to it from FOA Equity based upon FOA’s economic interest in FOA Equity as well as any stand-alone income it generates. FOA Equity and its disregarded subsidiaries, collectively, are treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, FOA Equity is not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. FOA Equity’s members, including FOA, are liable for U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes based on their allocable share of FOA Equity’s pass-through taxable income.Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying value of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts reported for income tax purposes. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences attributable to those temporary differences and the expected benefits of net operating losses and carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and recent results of operations. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had cumulative income on a three-year basis. However, due to our forecast of continued taxable losses, management concluded that a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset in excess of deferred tax liabilities should be maintained. Based on the Company’s financial performance in future periods and our financial projections, the Company could record a reversal of all, or a portion of the valuation allowance associated with deferred tax assets in future periods. Any such change is subject to actual performance and other considerations that may present positive or negative evidence at the time of the assessment.
