| Income Taxes | 9. Income Taxes Income tax benefit was approximately $2.3 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, was 14.8% and 16.9%, respectively. The fluctuation in the tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, results primarily from the relationship of loss before income tax for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, differs from the US federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the nonrecognition of tax benefits for loss jurisdictions, nondeductible meals and entertainment expenses, the impact of state tax expense based on gross receipts, and a compensation deduction limitation. The Company accounts for income taxes in interim periods under ASC 740-270, Income Taxes – Interim Reporting, which generally requires us to apply an estimated annual consolidated effective tax rate to consolidated pre-tax income (loss). In addition, the guidance under ASC 740 further provides that, in establishing the estimated annual effective tax rate, the Company excludes losses from jurisdictions in which no tax benefit is expected to be recognized for such losses.
