Note 12. Income Taxes

We record our interim provision for income taxes by applying our estimated annual effective tax rate to our year-to-date pre-tax income and adjusting for discrete tax items recorded in the period. Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the reporting of amounts for financial statement purposes and income tax purposes. These differences relate primarily to different methods used for income tax reporting purposes, including for depreciation and amortization, warranty and vacation accruals, and deductions related to allowances for doubtful accounts receivable and inventory reserves. Our provision for income taxes included current federal and state income tax expense, as well as deferred federal and state income tax expense.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was a benefit of 5.7%, compared to an expense of 28.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The primary driver of the change in the Company’s effective tax rate was attributable to the relative impact of stock-based compensation discrete tax items. We recorded an income tax benefit of $0.4 million and an income tax expense of $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was an expense of 7.0%, compared to an expense of 46.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The primary driver of the change in the Company’s effective tax rate was attributable to the relative impact of stock-based compensation discrete tax items. We recorded an income tax expense of $0.5 million and an income tax expense of $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

We recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority is more-likely-than-not to sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

The Company currently is not under income tax examination in any jurisdictions.
