13. Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for interim quarterly reporting periods is based on the Company's estimates of the effective tax rates for the full fiscal year, in accordance with ASC 740-270, Income Taxes, Interim Reporting. ASC 740-270-25-2 requires that an annual effective tax rate be determined and such annual effective rate be applied to year to date income/loss in interim periods. The effective tax rate in any quarter may be subject to fluctuations during the year as new information is obtained, which may positively or negatively affect the assumptions used to estimate the annual effective tax rate, including factors such as valuation allowances against deferred tax assets, the recognition or de-recognition of tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions, if any, and changes in or the interpretation of tax laws in jurisdictions where the Company conducts business.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded a benefit from income taxes of $11.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively, net of discrete tax benefit primarily related to stock-based compensation.
Accounting for income taxes for interim periods generally requires the provision for income taxes to be determined by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year to income or loss before income taxes, excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items, for the reporting period.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to executive compensation and other non-deductible expenses offset by tax credits as well as discrete tax benefits recognized in the quarter, which were primarily related to excess tax benefits for stock-based compensation. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the full valuation allowance on the U.S. and state deferred tax assets. The Company released its valuation allowance at the end of 2025.
