8. Income Taxes
The Company’s provision for income taxes for interim periods is determined by using an estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items arising during the quarter. At each quarter, the Company updates the estimated annual effective tax rate and makes a year-to-date adjustment to the provision. The estimated annual effective tax rate is subject to volatility due to several factors, including accurately forecasting the Company’s net income before tax, taxable income or loss, the mix of tax jurisdictions to which they relate, intercompany transactions, and changes in statutes, regulations, and case law.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $2.2 million on net loss before income taxes of $13.0 million, using an estimated effective tax rate for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. Our effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2025 differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due an increase in valuation allowance on net operating losses and the impact of foreign earnings.
Comparatively, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $1.8 million on net loss before income taxes of $24.7 million, using an estimated effective tax rate for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 adjusted for certain minimum state taxes. Our effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2024 differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to an increase in valuation allowance on net operating losses and the impact of foreign earnings.
