​ Our effective tax rate (“ETR”) for 2024 and 2023 was approximately 4% and 9% respectively. The tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 are not predictive of future tax rates. Our ETR differs from the statutory rate due to statutory depletion in excess of tax basis, return to provision adjustments, stock-based compensation and changes in the valuation allowance. The deduction for statutory depletion does not necessarily change proportionately to changes in income before income taxes. We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. Due to historical cumulative losses over the prior three years as well as projected losses over the next year, we believe that it is not more likely than not that the benefit from certain federal and state deferred tax assets will be realized. As such, we have recorded a full valuation allowance as of December 31, 2024. The remaining federal NOLs generated in pre-2018 years of $19.5 million can offset 100% of future years’ taxable income. The federal NOLs generated in post 2017 years of $104.9 million can offset 80% of future years’ taxable income. The pre-2018 federal NOLs will expire in varying amounts from 2035 to 2037 if they are not utilized. Indiana NOLs, which total $168.0 million, have a 20-year carryforward period and will expire in the years 2034 to 2044 if they are not utilized. We have analyzed our filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where we are required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions, to determine whether the positions will be more likely than not be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are not recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. We identified our federal tax return and our Indiana state tax return as “major” tax jurisdictions. We believe that our income tax filing positions and deduction will be sustained on audit and do not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to its consolidated financial position. While not material, we record any penalties and interest as general and administrative expense. Tax returns filed with the Internal Revenue Service and state entities generally remain subject to examination for three years after filing.
