13.   INCOME TAXES  

The Company reported income tax benefit of $(5,105) and $(4,535) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective income tax rate was (84.7)% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 245.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

In determining interim provisions for income taxes, the Company uses the annual estimated effective tax rate applied to the actual year-to-date income (loss) adjusted for discrete items arising year-to-date. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state taxes, foreign taxes, tax benefits on the exercises and vesting of stock awards, tax credits, limitations on deductions of certain employees’ compensation under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m), fluctuations in valuation allowances on net deferred tax assets established for U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions, and fluctuations in nondeductible contingent consideration liabilities.

The income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to tax benefits from stock-based awards exercised or vested during the quarter, tax credits, and fluctuations in nondeductible contingent consideration liabilities, net of limitations on deductions of certain employees’ compensation, fluctuations in valuation allowances on net deferred tax assets established for U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions, and state taxes. The income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to tax benefits from stock-based awards exercised or vested during the quarter, net of the impact from limitations on deductions of certain employees’ compensation.
