5.Income Taxes

Income taxes primarily consist of a provision for foreign taxes recorded by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries in accordance with local tax regulations. The estimated annual effective tax rate applied to the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% principally due to income earned outside the United States which is subject to the U.S. tax on global intangible low taxed income (“GILTI”), tax effects of foreign operations, changes in valuation allowance, provision on uncertain tax positions, and other net increases; offset in part by a reduction in foreign exchange gains and losses, deemed interest and true up adjustment on prior year tax provision.

The reconciliations of the U.S. federal statutory rate with the Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, are summarized in the table below:
