INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXES
At the end of each interim period, Vimeo estimates the annual expected effective income tax rate and applies that rate to its ordinary year-to-date earnings or loss with discrete items recorded in the period. The estimates used to compute the provision or benefit for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained, or Vimeo's tax environment changes.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, Vimeo recorded an income tax benefit of less than $0.1 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, Vimeo recorded an income tax provision of $1.2 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, Vimeo recorded an income tax provision of $0.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively. The effective income tax rate was lower than the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to movement in the valuation allowance, stock-based awards, and the effects of international tax provisions as required under 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, partially offset by the impact of executive compensation limits under Internal Revenue Code 162(m). Vimeo's largest deferred tax assets are capitalized research and development expenses and tax attribute carryforwards. Vimeo has recorded a valuation allowance for the majority of its net deferred tax assets because it has concluded that it is more likely than not that the tax benefit will not be realized.
At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, were $6.5 million and $6.0 million, respectively. The Company estimates that it would recognize an income tax benefit of $1.0 million if unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2025 are subsequently recognized. Vimeo believes no unrecognized tax benefits would decrease by June 30, 2026. Vimeo recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if applicable, in the income tax provision.

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. government enacted The One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 which includes, among other provisions, changes to the U.S. corporate income tax system including the allowance of immediate deduction of domestic research and development expenses and permanent extensions of specific provisions within the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Certain provisions are effective for the Company beginning in the third quarter of 2025, while others will be effective in 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impact these tax law changes will have on its consolidated financial statements.
