| Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| Income Taxes | Income Taxes During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded approximately $21.0 million of income tax benefit compared to $6.3 million of income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The effective tax rate (“ETR”) for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was 22.5% compared to a 23.7% ETR for the same period in 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded approximately $12.7 million of income tax benefit compared to $24.3 million of income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The ETR for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as well as the estimated annual ETR was 21.2%. The ETR for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was 26.2%. In calculating these rates, the Company considered a variety of factors including the forecasted full year pre-tax results, the federal tax rate, expected non-deductible expenses, estimated state income taxes and the allocation of income to state taxing authorities. As discussed in “—Note 14 (Variable Interest Entities)”, the results of the VIE can materially impact the state tax apportionment based on the materiality of results in the VIE compared to results in states subject to taxation. As a result of Hurricane Ian, the state tax benefit was reduced in the third quarter of 2022 due to the VIE’s absence of a state tax deduction. The annual effective tax rate can fluctuate throughout the year as estimates used in the tax provision for each quarter are updated as more relevant information becomes available. The Company’s final ETR for the full year will be dependent on the level of pre-tax income, discrete items, the apportionment of taxable income among state and other tax jurisdictions and the extent of non-deductible expenses in relation to pre-tax income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates. The Company reviews its deferred tax assets regularly for recoverability. Management has reviewed all available evidence, both positive and negative, in determining the need for a valuation allowance with respect to the gross deferred tax assets. In reviewing the gross deferred tax assets, management has concluded that the likelihood for utilization of these deferred tax assets is certain, and determined that a valuation allowance is not required on any of the deferred tax assets. Management will continue to analyze the gross deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis to determine whether there is a need for a valuation allowance in the future. The Company files its income tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s 2018 through 2020 tax years are still subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and various tax years remain open to examination in certain state jurisdictions.
