| INCOME TAXES | NOTE 12. INCOME TAXES The Company’s effective tax rate fluctuates from period to period based on several factors, including the geographic mix of earnings, the level of income or loss relative to available tax attributes, the recognition of valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions, and discrete tax items. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded income before income taxes of $3.8 million and an associated income tax provision of $17.1 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 450.0%. The income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily attributable to the income before income taxes for the period, an expense from prior year tax positions and the impact from a lower estimated annual effective tax rate compared with the prior quarter. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded a loss before income taxes of $(6.8) million and an associated income tax benefit of $(4.0) million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 58.8%. The income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to a loss before taxes for the period, a release of valuation allowances on domestic state net operating losses and Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) investment tax credits recognized during the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded a loss before income taxes of $(114.5) million and an associated income tax benefit of $(18.2) million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 15.9%. The income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily attributable to the loss before income taxes for the period and IRA production tax credits recognized during the period, partially offset by an expense from prior year tax positions. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded a loss before income taxes of $(4.7) million and an associated income tax benefit of $(3.1) million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 66.0%. The income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to a loss before taxes for the period, an income tax benefit associated with a release of valuation allowances on domestic state net operating losses and IRA investment tax credits recognized during the period. As of June 30, 2026, we had $23.6 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, which would have impacted the effective tax rate, if recognized. The changes in amounts of unrecognized tax benefits were as follows:
We operate globally and file income tax returns in numerous jurisdictions. Our tax returns are subject to examination by various federal, state and local tax authorities.

We believe we have adequately provided for all tax positions; however, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could be greater than our accrued position. For our primary tax jurisdictions, the tax years that remain subject to examination are as follows:
