Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes For interim income tax reporting, we estimate our annual effective tax rate and apply it to our year to date ordinary income (loss). Tax jurisdictions with a projected or year to date loss for which a tax benefit cannot be realized are excluded. The tax effects of unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, are reported in the interim period in which they occur. We have open tax years from 2015 to 2023 with various significant tax jurisdictions. On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 ("IRA") was enacted to reduce inflation and promote clean energy in the United States. Among other things, the IRA introduces a 15% alternative minimum tax for corporations with a three-year taxable year average annual adjusted financial statement income in excess of $1 billion and imposes a 1% excise tax on the fair market value of stock repurchases made by covered corporations after December 31, 2022. The Company has evaluated these new provisions and has concluded there is no impact for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The IRA also provides for certain manufacturing, production, and investment tax credit incentives, including new Advanced Manufacturing Production ("AMP") tax credits for companies that domestically manufacture and sell clean energy equipment, including wind towers. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company has recognized $7.6 million and $19.7 million, respectively, in AMP tax credits for wind towers produced and sold in 2023 which are included as a reduction to cost of revenues on the Consolidated Statement of Operations due to the refundable nature of the credits. The credits are included in Receivables, net of allowance, on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Certain provisions of the IRA, including the AMP tax credits for wind towers, remain subject to the issuance of additional guidance and clarification. We have considered the applicable current laws and regulations in our tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, and continue to evaluate the impact of these tax law changes on future periods. Our effective tax rates of 17.4% and 17.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% due to AMP tax credits, tax effects of foreign currency translations, compensation-related items, state income taxes, and statutory depletion deductions. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the effective tax rates of 21.2% and 21.6%, respectively, differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% due to state income taxes, compensation-related items, and foreign disallowed deductions, offset by benefits from statutory depletion deductions.
