(1)The Company receives investment incentive tax credits for qualifying capital expenditures at Çöpler. The application of these tax credits, which are denominated in Turkish Lira, can reduce income and mining tax expense and cash tax payments expected in the future. Reviews of eligible expenditures for tax credits by local tax authorities occur periodically and can result in adjustments to the recognition of investment incentive tax credits. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had deferred tax liabilities related to investments in subsidiaries that were not recognized as the Company controls the dividend policy of its subsidiaries (i.e., the Company controls the timing of reversal of the related taxable temporary differences and is satisfied that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future). It is not practicable to determine the amount of the unrecognized deferred tax liabilities at this time. Valuation of deferred tax assets The Company recognizes tax benefits on losses or other deductible amounts generated in countries where it determines that it is more likely than not that taxable profits will be available to be utilized against those temporary differences. The Company's deferred tax valuation allowance related primarily to tax losses in jurisdictions which do not meet the “more-likely-than-not” standard under current accounting guidance due to insufficient positive taxable income to utilize available tax losses.

When there is a change in judgment concerning the recovery of deferred tax assets in future periods, a valuation allowance is recorded into earnings during the quarter in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company has not made any judgement changes with respect to its already established positions. The valuation allowance increased in 2024 by $151.3 million mainly related to the losses sustained from the Çöpler incident where the Company is uncertain the attributes will be utilized before the five-year expiration period. Tax loss carryforwards As of December 31, 2024, the Company had the following estimated tax operating and capital losses (in thousands) available to reduce future taxable income, including both losses for which deferred tax assets are utilized to offset applicable deferred tax liabilities and losses for which deferred tax assets have a valuation allowance against. Losses expire at various dates and amounts between 2025 and 2044.

Unrecognized tax benefits The Company records uncertain tax positions on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions meeting the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits, inclusive of interest and penalties, is as follows during the years ended December 31 (in thousands):
| 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2022
