INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXES
The Company reported a benefit from income taxes of $149 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, representing an effective tax rate of 23.1%. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 reflects the impact of certain permanent items, projected decreases in our valuation allowance during the year ended December 31, 2026 and discrete items related to stock based compensation.
In assessing the need for a valuation allowance in its federal and state taxing jurisdictions, management concluded that a partial valuation allowance was appropriate as of March 31, 2026. This determination was based on consideration of historical levels of income, projections for future periods, and the significant amount of tax deductions to be generated from the future exercise of stock options. The Company maintains a valuation allowance related to non-qualified stock options and certain state tax credits, as management believes it is more likely than not, based on the weight of available evidence, that these deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company reported a benefit from income taxes of $1,073 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, representing an effective tax rate of 32.8%. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 reflects the impact of certain permanent items and discrete items for the quarter related to projected decreases in our valuation allowance and to stock based compensation.
As discussed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, we had net operating loss carry-forwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $8,500 as of December 31, 2025.
