Item 8.01 Other Events
On June 30, 2025, the State of California adopted and signed into law its fiscal year 2026 budget, which, among other things, changed the way financial institutions’ multi-state income is apportioned to the State of California. The change required Axos Financial, Inc. (“Axos” or the “Company”) to remeasure its deferred tax assets and liabilities and resulted in a one-time non-cash impairment. This impairment, netted with other state settlements reached on outstanding tax matters during the quarter, totaled approximately $4 million which the Company expects to recognize in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. The Company estimates the effective tax rate for fiscal years ending June 30, 2026 and thereafter will be reduced by approximately 3% compared to the effective tax rate prior to the change in the State of California tax law.
A press release providing information regarding the expected financial impact of certain income tax items is furnished as Exhibit 99.1.
