Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes Income Taxes For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company's effective tax rate was 25% and 28%, respectively. The Company reported tax expense on pretax income for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, with foreign entities recognizing earnings of $27.4 million and $58.3 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, was negatively impacted by excess tax expense on equity-based compensation.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company's effective tax rate was 23% and (112)%, respectively. The Company reported tax expense on pretax income for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and a tax benefit on pretax income for the six months ended June 30, 2021, with foreign entities recognizing earnings of $10.2 million and $9.6 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, was positively impacted by excess tax benefits on equity-based compensation.

The Company’s effective tax rate could fluctuate on a quarterly basis due to the occurrence of significant and unusual or infrequent items, such as vesting of stock-based compensation or foreign currency gains and losses. The Company’s effective tax rate could also fluctuate due to changes in the valuation of its deferred tax assets or liabilities, or by changes in tax laws, regulations, accounting principles, or interpretations thereof. In addition, the Company is occasionally subject to examination of its income tax returns by tax authorities in the jurisdictions it operates. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of its provision for income taxes.

As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions was $24.1 million and $24.5 million, respectively, excluding related liabilities for interest and penalties of $1.0 million and $1.1 million as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The Company believes it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will decrease within the next 12 months by approximately $6.1 million, due to the settlement of various audits and the expiration of statutes of limitation.
