Income Tax

 

The determination of the annual effective tax rate is based upon a number of significant estimates and judgments, including the estimated annual pretax income in each tax jurisdiction in which the Company operates and the development of tax planning strategies during the year. In addition, as a global commercial enterprise, the Company’s tax expense can be impacted by changes in tax rates or laws, the finalization of tax audits and reviews and other factors that cannot be predicted with certainty. As such, there can be significant volatility in interim tax provisions.

 

Income tax expense was $0.2 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate of (4.7%) for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was lower than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the inclusion of non-deductible executive compensation and changes in valuation allowances associated with the Company’s assessment of the likelihood of the recoverability of deferred tax assets. The Company’s effective tax rate of 48.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was higher than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to a Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) inclusion to taxable income and changes in valuation allowances. The Company has valuation allowances against substantially all of its tax credit carryforwards.
