The Company’s income tax expense varies from the expense that would be expected based on statutory rates due principally to its organizational structure. Prior to the IPO, income taxes for LD Holdings at the consolidated level were primarily federal, state, and local taxes for ACT, a C Corporation. As part of the completion of the IPO, the Company became a C Corporation subject to federal, state, and local income taxes with respect to its share of net taxable income of LD Holdings. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had a deferred tax asset before any valuation allowance of $56 thousand and a deferred tax liability of $202.3 million. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. The deferred tax liability as of September 30, 2021 relates to temporary differences in the book basis as compared to the tax basis of loanDepot, Inc.’s investment in LD Holdings, net of tax benefits from future deductions for payments made under the TRA as a result of the offering transaction. Changes in tax laws and rates may affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities and the Company’s effective tax rate in the future. Deferred income taxes are measured using the applicable tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates that have been enacted at the reporting date. The Company measured its deferred tax assets and liabilities at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 using the combined federal and state rate (less federal benefit) of 26%. The Company establishes a valuation allowance when it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of September 30, 2021, the Company did not have a valuation allowance on any deferred tax assets as the Company believes it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will realize the benefits of the deferred tax assets. The Company recognized a TRA liability of $27.9 million as of September 30, 2021, which represents the Company’s estimate of the aggregate amount that it will pay under the TRA as a result of the offering transaction, refer to Note 16- Commitments and Contingencies, for further information on the TRA liability.
