INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was computed using an estimated annual effective tax rate (“ETR”), with discrete items recognized in the period in which they occur. The estimated ETR is revised, as necessary, at the end of successive interim reporting periods.
In 2022, the Company established a valuation allowance against its deferred tax asset related to unrealized capital losses in the available for sale securities portfolio. In 2023, management took actions to increase its available liquidity so that the Company has the ability and intent to hold the majority of securities in its available for sale portfolio to recovery. For liquidity and other purposes, the Company maintains a smaller pool of securities that it does not intend to hold to recovery. The Company maintains a valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset on available for sale securities that will not be held to recovery. Adjustments to the valuation allowance due to changes in the portfolio’s unrealized capital loss are recorded in OCI. Adjustments to the valuation allowance due to new facts or evidence are recorded in net income.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded increases to the valuation allowance of $8 million and $3 million, respectively, due to changes in the value of unrealized losses in the available for sale portfolio that will not be held to recovery. These adjustments were recorded in OCI. As of March 31, 2025, a valuation allowance of $225 million remains against the portion of the deferred tax asset that is still not more-likely-than-not to be realized.
The Company uses the aggregate portfolio approach related to the stranded or disproportionate income tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income related to available for sale securities. Under this approach, the disproportionate tax effect remains intact as long as the investment portfolio remains.
