Income Taxes Income Taxes
For interim financial reporting, the Company estimates the annual tax rate based on projected taxable income for the full year and records a quarterly income tax provision in accordance with ASC 740-270, Accounting for Income Taxes in Interim Periods. These interim estimates are subject to variation due to several factors, including the ability of the Company to accurately forecast pre-tax and taxable income and loss by jurisdiction, changes in laws or regulations, and expenses or losses for which tax benefits are not recognized. Jurisdictions with a projected loss for the year or an actual year-to-date loss where no tax benefit can be recognized are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate. The impact of including these jurisdictions on the quarterly effective tax rate calculations could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a quarter, based upon the mix and timing of actual earnings versus annual projections.

Prior to the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 ("Tax Act"), the Company asserted that substantially all of the undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries were considered indefinitely reinvested and accordingly, no deferred taxes were provided. Due to the Tax Act, the Company has significant previously taxed earnings and profits from its foreign subsidiaries, as a result of transition tax, that is generally able to be repatriated free of U. S. federal tax. In addition, future earnings of foreign subsidiaries are generally expected to be able to be repatriated free of U.S. federal income tax because these earnings were taxed in the U.S. under the GILTI regime or would be eligible for a 100% dividends received deduction. As a result of the Company’s treasury policy to simplify and expediate its intercompany cash flows, as evidenced by the use of cash pooling, and in light of the Company’s demonstrated goal of driving growth though inorganic/acquisitional means, the Company does not assert indefinite reinvestment to the extent of each controlled foreign corporation's earnings and profits and to the extent of any foreign partnership’s U.S. tax capital accounts. As a result, the Company has provided for non-U.S. withholding taxes, U.S. federal tax related to currency movement on previously taxed earnings and profits, and U.S. state taxes on unremitted earnings.

All unrecognized tax positions could impact the Company's effective tax rate if recognized. There have been no material changes to the Company’s unrecognized tax positions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. With respect to penalties and interest incurred from income tax assessments or related to unrecognized tax benefits, the Company’s policy is to classify penalties as provision for income taxes and interest as interest expense in its unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). There were no material income tax penalties or interest accrued during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 or 2022.

The Company's effective tax rate from continuing operations was 330.0% and 31.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The net change was primarily due to a valuation allowance expense in the current period recorded against certain income tax credits. The Company's effective tax rate from continuing operations was (51.2)% and 41.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The net change was primarily due to a valuation allowance expense in the current period.
