Note 9 – Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate, plus or minus discrete items. The following table presents the provision for income taxes and the effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:
Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30,
2025202420252024
Income before provision for income taxes$26,411$75,978$45,938$182,503 
Provision for income taxes$4,593$19,390$21,572$44,404 
Effective tax rate17.4%25.5%47.0%24.3%

The difference between the Company’s effective tax rates of 17.4% and 25.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively, was primarily due to changes in non-deductible expenses related to the acquisition of the Kurt Geiger business as a result of our transaction cost analysis.
The difference between the Company’s effective tax rates of 47.0% and 24.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively, was primarily due to non-deductible expenses related to the acquisition of the Kurt Geiger business.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain income tax positions in income tax expense. Accrued interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits, and interest and penalty expense are immaterial to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. for federal, state, and local purposes, and in certain foreign jurisdictions. The Company's tax years 2022 through 2024 remain open to examination by most taxing authorities.
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was signed into law, which contains certain revisions to the Internal Revenue Code, including a 15% corporate minimum income tax for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. While the 15% corporate minimum income tax has no effect on the Company’s results of operations in the near term, the Company will continue to evaluate its impact on future years. The IRA also assesses a 1% excise tax on repurchases of corporate stock which impacts the Company’s stock repurchases effective January 1, 2023. There was no excise tax recorded as an incremental cost in treasury stock on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. The excise tax recorded as an incremental cost in treasury stock on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $189 and $787 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) has implemented the global minimum tax rate of at least 15% for large multinational companies as of 2024 (“Pillar Two”). Under Pillar Two, a top-up tax will be required for any jurisdiction that has enacted Pillar Two and whose effective tax rate falls below the 15% global minimum rate. Additionally, the OECD issued administrative guidance providing transition and safe harbor rules around the implementation of the Pillar Two global minimum tax. Under the safe harbor, companies would be excluded from Pillar Two requirements provided certain criteria are met. Based on the Company's analysis, the enactment of Pillar Two legislation does not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position. The Company will continue to monitor and reflect the impact of such legislative changes in future periods, as appropriate.
As of September 30, 2025 the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was approximately $1,770. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits. It is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits will decrease in the next twelve months.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was signed into law, which includes a broad range of tax reform provisions as well as the extension of certain Tax Cuts and Job Act provisions that were set to expire. We have accounted for the OBBBA tax law changes, which did not have a material impact on our estimated annual effective tax rate in 2025.
