Income Taxes Income Taxes
The income tax benefit was $0.1 million and $9.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The provision for income taxes resulted in an effective tax rate of 18.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 24.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 differs from the federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to the U.S. state income taxes and the impact of income earned in foreign jurisdictions.

The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 differs from the federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to the U.S. state income taxes and the impact of income earned in foreign jurisdictions.
