The Company maintains a valuation allowance for its gross deferred tax assets at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company's operations have generated substantial operating losses in prior years. These losses can be available to reduce income taxes that might otherwise be incurred on future taxable income; however, it is uncertain whether the Company will generate the taxable income necessary to utilize these losses or other reversing temporary differences. This uncertainty has caused management to place a full valuation allowance on its March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 net deferred tax asset, excluding the deferred income tax asset and liability amounts set forth in the paragraph below. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, the Company released into income zero and $0.5 million, respectively, of its valuation allowance associated with business interest expense carryforwards with an indefinite life.
