For the second quarter and first six months of 2026, the effective tax rate varied from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the effect of state taxes and various unfavorable permanent tax adjustments. For the second quarter and first six months of 2025, the effective tax rate varied from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the change in the valuation allowance, net of the current period change in tax effected net indefinite-lived intangibles and current tax expense on taxable income.
Certain out-of-the-money stock options may expire unexercised, and as a result the Company could be required to reverse the related deferred tax asset for share-based compensation, which would increase income tax expense and the effective tax rate in a future period in 2026.
