Our net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2024, includes net operating loss carryforwards of $159.4 million that expire between 2025 and 2043. Certain of our net operating loss carryforwards do not expire. A valuation allowance is recorded to the extent that it is more likely than not that any portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The valuation allowance was increased by $10.4 million. We believe the realization of the remaining net deferred tax asset of $152.4 million is more likely than not based on the ability to carry back certain tax attributes against prior year taxable income for tax years before 2024 and to carry forward net operating losses indefinitely after 2024, and expectations of future taxable income, which is supported by a history of cumulative income. The current tax payable, included in accounts payable and accrued expenses, is $5.8 million and $6.1 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The current tax receivable, included in other assets, is $30.1 million and $38.9 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, we considered all undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries to be permanently reinvested. Therefore, we have not provided for any U.S. deferred income taxes. Because the time or manner of repatriation is uncertain, we cannot determine the impact of local taxes, withholding taxes and foreign tax credits associated with the future repatriation of such earnings, and therefore cannot quantify the tax liability that would be payable in the event all such foreign earnings are repatriated. Uncertain Tax Positions As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had $5.5 million and $5.4 million, respectively, of gross unrecognized tax benefits, all of which, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had accrued interest and penalties of $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, before benefit of federal tax deduction, included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in our consolidated statements of financial condition. The amount of interest and penalties recognized in our consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, was not significant. The following table summarizes the activity related to our company’s unrecognized tax benefits from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024 (in thousands):
|  | Year Ended December 31, |
|  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |
Beginning balance |  | $ | 5,430 |  |  | $ | 5,271 |  |  | $ | 4,924 |
Increase related to prior year tax positions |  |  | 428 |  |  |  | 112 |  |  |  | 195 |
Decrease related to prior year tax positions |  |  | (324 | ) |  |  | (63 | ) |  |  | (635 | )
Increase related to current year tax positions |  |  | 1,072 |  |  |  | 1,083 |  |  |  | 978 |
Decrease related to settlements with taxing authorities |  |  | (499 | ) |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |
Decrease related to lapsing of statute of limitations |  |  | (602 | ) |  |  | (973 | ) |  |  | (191 | )
Ending balance |  | $ | 5,505 |  |  | $ | 5,430 |  |  | $ | 5,271 |
We file income tax returns with the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states, and certain foreign jurisdictions. We are not subject to U.S. federal examination for taxable years before 2021. We are not subject to certain state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for taxable years before 2015. There is a reasonable possibility that the unrecognized tax benefits will change within the next 12 months as a result of the expiration of various statutes of limitations or for the resolution of U.S. federal and state examinations, but we do not expect this change to be material to the consolidated financial statements.
