Income Taxes Income Taxes
We calculate our provision for income taxes on a quarterly basis by applying an estimated annual effective tax rate to income (loss) from operations and by calculating the tax effect of discrete items recognized during the quarter.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded income tax expense of $12.9 million and $23.5 million, representing an effective tax rate of 23.7% and 21.9%, respectively. Our effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state income taxes and non-deductible officers' compensation partially offset by tax benefits from research and development tax credits. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, our effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation and research and development tax credits, partially offset by state income taxes and non-deductible officers' compensation.
We assess our ability to realize our deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and we establish a valuation allowance if it is more-likely-than-not that some portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. We weigh all available positive and negative evidence, including our earnings history and results of recent operations, scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies. During the three months ended December 31, 2024, we assessed all available evidence and determined that there was sufficient positive evidence to overcome the negative evidence, including our past and current financial results, growth demonstrated in our top-line performance, as well as projected profitability. Accordingly, we determined it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized and we released our valuation allowance at December 31, 2024.
There were no material changes to our unrecognized tax benefits during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, and we do not expect to have any significant changes to unrecognized tax benefits through the remainder of the year.
