INCOME TAX
3.  INCOME TAX

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was 32.9% and 32.9%, respectively.  Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 26.9% and 31.1%, respectively. Our effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to U.S. state income tax expense, expenses that are nondeductible for tax purposes, the change in our valuation allowance associated with our deferred tax assets, and differences in tax rates in foreign jurisdictions.
