The following table provides a summary of the Company’s effective tax rate:

The Company’s effective income tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were 18.3% and (9.4)%, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the higher tax rate is primarily driven by lower three month book income as compared to the previous year. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the lower rate was partially driven by a $1.1 million benefit associated with the Federal R&D credit.
The Company’s effective income tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were 23.2% and 15.5%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the higher tax rate is primarily driven by lower book income and a $1.7 million shortfall from stock-based compensation, as compared to the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the lower tax rate was primarily due to a $1.1 million benefit associated with the Federal R&D credit, offset by $0.3 million shortfall from stock-based compensation.
Changes to income tax laws and regulations, in any of the tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates, could impact the effective tax rate. Various governments, both U.S. and non-U.S., are increasingly focused on tax reform and revenue-raising legislation. On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Act was signed into law. The Company did not experience a material impact on the Company’s effective tax rate under the Inflation Act. Further, legislation in foreign jurisdictions may be enacted, in continued response to the base erosion and profit-sharing (“BEPS”) project begun by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”).
The OECD released model rules related to a new 15% global minimum tax regime (“Pillar 2”). Several of the jurisdictions that the Company operates in have already adopted some form of the model rules, which could impact the amount of taxes that the Company pays after 2023. However, the rules are complex and provide for delays for implementing the tax during the early transition years, if certain conditions are met. At this time, the Company is projecting an immaterial amount related to Pillar 2 tax liability for the 2024 year. Such changes in U.S. and Non-U.S. jurisdictions could have an adverse effect on the Company’s effective tax rate.
