Note 5 Income Taxes
The effective tax rate on Income before income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was 49.0% and 36.6%, respectively. These effective tax rates reflect the impacts of recurring tax adjustments including nondeductible interest and compensation expenses.
The effective tax rate on Income before income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was 99.9% and 70.8%, respectively. These effective tax rates were higher than normal due primarily to the relatively low amount of Income before income taxes which increased the effective tax rate impact of recurring tax adjustments including nondeductible interest and compensation expenses, as well as discrete increases in state valuation allowances which reduced the net value of deferred tax assets.
