The Company’s effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, is impacted by the jurisdictional mix and timing of the actual compared to projected earnings (losses). It is also impacted by the valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets in the U.S. and U.K. and a near break-even year-to-date pretax loss resulting in a not meaningful effective income tax rate.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. A deferred tax valuation allowance requires significant judgment and uncertainties, including assumptions about future taxable income. Quarterly, the Company reassesses the need for a valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets by weighting all available and objectively verifiable negative and positive evidence, including projected future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, committed contractual backlog (“Backlog”), projected future taxable income, including the impact of enacted legislation, tax-planning strategies, and recent operating results.
The Company intends to maintain a valuation allowance on its U.S. and U.K. net deferred tax assets until sufficient evidence exists to support their realization.
