Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | 9. INCOME TAXES The determination of the annual effective tax rate is based upon a number of significant estimates and judgments, including the estimated annual pretax income in each tax jurisdiction in which we operate and the ongoing development of tax planning strategies during the year. In addition, our provision for income taxes can be impacted by changes in tax rates or laws, the finalization of tax audits and reviews, as well as other factors that cannot be predicted with certainty. As such, there can be significant volatility in interim tax provisions. The following is a summary of our provision for income taxes and effective tax rate:
|  | For the Quarter Ended June 30, |  |  | For the Year to Date Ended June 30, |
(Dollars in Thousands) |  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |  |  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |
Pretax income |  | $ | 53,014 |  |  | $ | 74,603 |  |  | $ | 105,865 |  |  | $ | 121,656 |
Provision for income taxes |  | $ | 14,585 |  |  | $ | 19,930 |  |  | $ | 27,994 |  |  | $ | 32,499 |
Effective rate |  |  | 27.5 | % |  |  | 26.7 | % |  |  | 26.4 | % |  |  | 26.7 | %
The effective tax rate for the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2024 was impacted by the tax effect of stock-based compensation and the release of previously recorded tax reserves, which decreased the effective tax rate for the quarter and year to date by 1.4% and 2.0%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2023 was impacted by a $5.3 million unfavorable discrete adjustment related to the $22.1 million gain on the sale of the Le Cordon Bleu trademark, which was taxed at 24.1%. The effective tax rate for the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2023 also includes the tax effect of stock-based compensation and the release of previously recorded tax reserves, which decreased the effective tax rate for the quarter and year to date by 0.6% and 0.7%, respectively. Additionally, as of June 30, 2024, a valuation allowance of $14.3 million was maintained with respect to our equity investment, available for sale short-term investments and state net operating losses. We estimate that it is reasonably possible that the gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits for a variety of uncertain tax positions will decrease by up to $2.1 million in th e next twelve months as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations in several jurisdictions. The income tax rate for the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2024 does not take into account the possible reduction of the liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The impact of a reduction to the liability will be treated as a discrete item in the period the reduction occurs. We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. As of June 30, 2024, we had accrued $3.7 mil lion as an estimate for reasonably possible interest and accrued penalties. Our tax returns are routinely examined by federal, state and local tax authorities and these audits are at various stages of completion at any given time. The Internal Revenue Service has completed its examination of our U.S. income tax returns through our tax year ended December 31, 2014.
