INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXES
The Company’s effective income tax rate was a benefit of 26.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to a provision of 32.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company had a loss before income taxes of $65,044 and a benefit from income taxes of $17,090 resulting from the impact of items that are not tax deductible. The change in the effective tax rate compared to the prior year is primarily due to the impact of items that are not tax deductible on the loss of $65,044 before income taxes.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $46,384 and state net operating loss carryforwards of $64,247, respectively. In addition one of the Company’s majority-owned subsidiaries that is not included in the Company’s consolidated federal has federal net operating loss carryforwards of $298,416 and state net operating loss carryforwards of $225,585 available to utilize against future taxable income of the majority-owner subsidiary. The Company’s federal net operating loss carryforwards will expire in the tax years commencing in December 31, 2033 through December 31, 2038. The state net operating loss carryforwards will expire in the tax years commencing in December 31, 2030.
The Company establishes a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Tax benefits of operating loss, capital loss and tax credit carryforwards are evaluated on an ongoing basis, including a review of historical and projected future operating results, the eligible carryforward period, and other circumstances. The Company’s net operating losses are subject to annual limitations in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 382. Accordingly, the Company is limited to the amount of net operating loss that may be utilized in future taxable years depending on the Company’s actual taxable income. As of March 31, 2024, the Company believes that the existing net operating loss carryforwards will be utilized in future tax periods before the loss carryforwards expire and it is more-likely-than-not that future taxable earnings will be
sufficient to realize its deferred tax assets and has not provided a valuation allowance. The Company does not believe that it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to utilize the benefits related to capital loss carryforwards and has provided a valuation allowance in the amount of $41,751 against these deferred tax assets.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S., various state and local jurisdictions, and certain other foreign jurisdictions. The Company is currently under audit by certain federal, state and local, and foreign tax authorities. The audits are in varying stages of completion. The Company evaluates its tax positions and establishes liabilities for uncertain tax positions that may be challenged by tax authorities. Uncertain tax positions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are adjusted in light of changing facts and circumstances, including progress of tax audits, case law developments and closing of statutes of limitations. Such adjustments are reflected in the provision for income taxes, as appropriate. The Company is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the calendar years ended December 31, 2020 to 2023.
Pillar Two
The Pillar Two directive, which was established by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, and which generally provides for a 15% minimum effective tax rate for multinational enterprises, in every jurisdiction in which they operate. While the Company does not anticipate that this will have a material impact on its tax provision or effective tax rate, it will continue to monitor evolving tax legislation in the jurisdictions in which it operates.
