3. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective tax rate changed from a benefit of 18.0% of pre-tax loss for the three months ended September 30, 2023, to a expense of 1.4% of pre-tax loss for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and changed from a benefit of 19.2% of pre-tax loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, to a benefit of 3.9% of pre-tax loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The change in the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, was driven primarily by non-deductible impairment charges and a loss jurisdiction for which no tax benefits were recognized on its pre-tax losses incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

The Company continually reviews the adequacy of its valuation allowance and recognizes the benefits of deferred tax assets only as the assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be recognized in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had net deferred tax assets totaling $91.3 million, and a valuation allowance totaling $87.1 million against those deferred tax assets. Our assessment of the realizability of our deferred tax assets includes the evaluation of historical operating results, as well as the evaluation of evidence which requires significant judgment, including the evaluation of our three-year cumulative income position, future taxable income projections and tax planning strategies. Should management’s conclusion change in the future and an additional valuation allowance, or a partial or full release of the valuation allowance becomes necessary, it may have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
