Income Tax

 

The determination of the annual effective tax rate is based upon a number of significant estimates and judgments, including the estimated annual pretax income in each tax jurisdiction in which the Company operates and the development of tax planning strategies during the year. In addition, as a global commercial enterprise, the Company’s tax expense can be impacted by changes in tax rates or laws, the finalization of tax audits and reviews and other factors that cannot be predicted with certainty. As such, there can be significant volatility in interim tax provisions.

 

Income tax expense (benefit) was $0.1 million and $(0.5) million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate of (3.6%) for the three months ended March 31, 2026, differed from the U.S statutory rate primarily due to a benefit to reserves related to uncertain tax positions, partially offset by the tax effect of non-deductible stock compensation. The Company’s effective tax rate of 0.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was lower than the U.S statutory rate due to the tax effect of goodwill impairment. The effective tax rate for both periods was also impacted by changes in valuation allowances associated with the Company’s assessment of the likelihood of the recoverability of deferred tax assets.
