Explanation	U.S. GAAP PROVIDES A TWO-STEP APPROACH FOR EVALUATING TAX POSITIONS. RECOGNITION (STEP 1) OCCURS WHEN AN ENTITY CONCLUDES THAT A TAX POSITION, BASED SOLELY ON ITS TECHNICAL MERITS, IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT TO BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION. MEASUREMENT (STEP 2) OCCURS WHEN THE TAX BENEFIT IS MEASURED AS THE LARGEST AMOUNT OF BENEFIT, DETERMINED ON A CUMULATIVE PROBABILITY BASIS, THAT IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT TO BE REALIZED UPON ULTIMATE SETTLEMENT. FROM 2021 THROUGH 2024, THE YEARS MANAGEMENT CONSIDERS TO BE OPEN FOR EXAMINATION BY TAXING AUTHORITIES, MANAGEMENT DID NOT IDENTIFY THE EXISTENCE OF ANY MATERIAL UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS.
