Income Taxes Income Taxes
The Company’s interim income tax provision is determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items arising in that period. The estimated annual effective tax rate requires judgment and is dependent upon several factors. The Company provides for income taxes under the liability method. This approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the tax basis of assets or liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.
The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items will expire before the Company is able to realize their benefit. The Company calculates the valuation allowance in accordance with the authoritative guidance relating to income taxes, which requires an assessment of both positive and negative
evidence regarding the realizability of these deferred tax assets, when measuring the need for a valuation allowance. Significant judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.
The Company’s effective income tax rate was 26.9% and 27.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and 64.6% and 27.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, was primarily driven by the goodwill impairment recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, which is not deductible for tax purposes.
