12. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was (13.2%) and 31.2%, respectively, and the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was 11.9% and 22.3%, respectively. The decreases in the effective tax rate for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 reflects the impact of a $8.0 million income tax benefit recorded in the second quarter of 2025 related to the Company re-evaluating its state deferred tax asset, as a result of the Sandy Spring acquisition, as well as the impact of the $4.8 million valuation allowance established during the second quarter of 2024.

As of each reporting date, the Company considers existing evidence, both positive and negative, that could impact the Company’s view regarding the future realization of deferred tax assets. The Company’s valuation allowance was $11.1 million and $4.4 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The increase in the valuation allowance was due to the Sandy Spring acquisition and Sandy Spring’s historical valuation allowance relating to net operating losses in certain state filing jurisdictions.

On July 4, 2025, new tax legislation referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was enacted into law by the federal government. In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company will recognize the total effect of tax law changes on deferred tax balances, including related valuation allowances, as a discrete event in the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the interim period in which the law was enacted.
