INCOME TAXES

 

The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S., as well as various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company continues to record a full valuation allowance against the Company's U.S. net deferred tax assets and a partial valuation allowance on its Canada deferred tax assets as it is not more likely than not that the Company will realize a benefit from these assets in a future period other than a $91 thousand carryback benefit at Canada. In future periods, tax benefits and related deferred tax assets will be recognized when management concludes realization of such amounts is more likely than not. 

 

Total net income tax expense of $0.2 million and $0.8 million were recorded to the income tax provision from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, resulting in an effective tax rate of (0.1%) and (0.4%), respectively. Income tax expense was primarily due to state minimum taxes and estimated Texas gross receipts taxes.

 

Total net income tax benefit of $2.1 million and $11.0 million was recorded to the income tax provision from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended  September 30, 2021, respectively, resulting in an effective tax rate of 18.1% and 24.4%, respectively. The income tax benefit from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, was as a result of the release of valuation allowances currently held against the Company’s deferred tax assets as a result of the additional $11.2 million of deferred tax liabilities assumed in the April 2021 and July 2021 acquisitions of GTS and IMMCO. As a result, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 the Company recorded a $2.2 million and $11.2 million tax benefit, respectively, for a reduction in prior recorded valuation allowances. All of the Company’s domestic and foreign net deferred tax assets were reduced by a full valuation allowance.
