INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXES
In order to determine the Company’s quarterly provision for income taxes, the Company used an estimated annual effective tax rate that is based on expected annual income and statutory tax rates in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter during which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rate from quarter to quarter.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, there was $29.3 million in income tax benefit, or approximately 99.7% of pre-tax loss, compared to $0.1 million income tax expense, or approximately (0.4)% of pre-tax loss, for the three months ended March 31, 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company’s effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the release of unrecognized tax benefits and the recognition of valuation allowances. The unrecognized tax benefits released were primarily related to tax refund claims following the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (referred to as the CARES Act) that allowed the carryback of losses related to tax years ended June 30, 2017 through June 30, 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company was notified by the Joint Committee on Taxation that it had concluded its review of these tax refund claims. The Company remeasured or released the unrecognized benefits resulting in a discrete tax benefit of $29.6 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company’s effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the recognition of valuation allowances. Due to the Company's cumulative loss and the exhaustion of future taxable income from the reversal of taxable temporary differences, the Company's estimated annual effective tax rate for the current year includes a valuation allowance against the majority of the current year increase in deferred tax assets.
