INCOME TAXES
The decreases in the current, deferred and total income tax provisions for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the respective period of 2025 were primarily the result of lower income before income taxes.
The Company’s effective income tax rates of 32% and 26% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to state taxes in New Mexico and the impact of permanent differences between book and tax income recognized discretely in the current period.
The Company’s effective income tax rates of 25% and 26% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to state taxes in New Mexico.
