NOTE 7—INCOME TAXES

​

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was 12.0% and (3.7%), respectively, based on pretax income and loss of $2.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was impacted by non-deductible expenses and earnings and losses in certain foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was 37.1% and 34.7%, respectively, based on pretax income of $3.7 million and $8.9 million, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was impacted by non-deductible expenses and earnings and losses in certain foreign jurisdictions and the impact of the vesting of restricted stock units.

​

The Company’s provision (benefit) for income taxes during interim reporting periods has historically been calculated by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full year to “ordinary” income or loss (pre-tax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items) for the reporting period. When projected “ordinary” income or loss for the full year is close to breakeven, the estimated annual effective tax rate can become volatile due to insignificant changes, resulting in an unreliable estimate of tax for the reporting period. In such instances, the Company will calculate the interim income tax provision or benefit using a discrete effective tax rate method, as allowed by ASC 740-270 “Income Taxes, Interim Reporting,” based solely on the year-to-date pretax income or loss as adjusted for permanent differences on a pro rata basis.

​

For the second quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company’s projected “ordinary” income or loss for the full year was no longer close to breakeven, decreasing the volatility of the estimated annual effective tax rate resulting in a reliable estimate of tax for the reporting period to continue to estimate the income taxes during interim reporting periods has historically been. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company projected “ordinary” income or loss for the full year was not close to breakeven, therefore, the estimated annual effective tax rate was not considered volatile due to small changes, resulting in a reliable estimate of tax for the reporting period, the Company decided to use the annual effective tax rate to calculate the income tax for interim period as well as the impact of earnings and loss in certain foreign jurisdiction and the impact of the vesting of restricted stock units.
