Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes 10. Income Taxes
The Company’s provision for income taxes was $21.9 million and $34.3 million for the three months ended March 31,
2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was approximately 18% and 21% for the three months ended
March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 primarily
comprises the 21% U.S. federal corporate income tax rate and the impact of U.S. state and foreign income taxes and disallowed
executive compensation, partially offset by non-controlling interest and equity-based compensation deductions. As of
March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had federal, state, local and foreign taxes payable of $101.4 million and
$46.9 million, respectively, which is recorded as a component of accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the
accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by federal and certain state, local and foreign tax
regulators. With a few exceptions, as of March 31, 2024, the Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for the years 2020
through 2022 are open under the normal three-year statute of limitations and therefore subject to examination. State and local
tax returns are generally subject to audit from 2018 to 2022. Foreign tax returns are generally subject to audit from 2011 to
2022. Certain of the Company’s affiliates are currently under audit by federal, state and foreign tax authorities.
The Company does not believe that the outcome of the audits will require it to record material reserves for uncertain tax
positions or that the outcome will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The Company does not
believe that it has any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will
significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months.
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”) was signed into law. The IRA enacted a 15%
CAMT on the “adjusted financial statement income” of certain large corporations, which became effective on January 1, 2023.
The Company does not expect the IRA to have a material impact to its provision for income taxes given that any current year
payments that would be made under CAMT would be permitted to be carried forward and used as credits in future years
resulting in a deferred tax benefit. The Company will continue to monitor as additional guidance is released by U.S. Department
of the Treasury, the IRS, and other standard-setting bodies.
On December 27, 2023, the State of New York issued final regulations that implemented comprehensive franchise tax
reform for corporations, banks, and insurance companies. This did not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated
financial statements. The Company will continue to monitor as additional guidance is released by the State of New York.
In October 2021, the OECD introduced a 15% global minimum tax under the Pillar Two GloBE model rules. There are
a number of key provisions under the rules that are being phased in during 2024 and 2025. Several OECD member countries
have enacted the tax legislation based on certain elements of these rules that became effective on January 1, 2024, and
additional countries have drafted or announced an intent to implement legislation. While the Company does not expect Pillar
Two to have a material impact to its provision for income taxes for 2024, the rules remain subject to significant negotiation and
potential change, and the timing and ultimate impact of any such changes on our tax obligations are uncertain. The Company
will continue to monitor as additional countries enact legislation, new parts of the regime come into force or additional
guidance is released by the OECD and other standard-setting bodies.
