11. INCOME TAXES

 

Effective income tax rates for interim periods are based on the Company’s estimate of the applicable annual income tax rate. The Company’s effective income tax rate varies based upon the estimate of the Company’s annual taxable earnings and the allocation of those taxable earnings across the various states in which we operate. Changes in the annual allocation of the Company’s activity among these jurisdictions results in changes to the effective tax rate utilized to measure the Company’s income tax provision and deferred tax assets and liabilities.

 

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was approximately 20.5%. This was different than the expected federal income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of non-taxable income from non-deductible equity compensation and state income taxes.

 

During the second quarter of 2022, the Company released the valuation allowance of the Company’s deferred tax asset recorded as of December 31, 2021. The Company had historical cumulative positive pre-tax income plus permanent differences. The realization of the deferred tax asset as of September 30, 2023 is more likely than not based on the Company’s projected taxable income.
