NOTE 9: INCOME TAXES
The Company’s provision for income taxes consists of U.S., state and local, and foreign taxes. The Company has significant operations in various locations outside the U.S. The annual effective tax rate is a composite rate reflecting the earnings in the various locations at their applicable statutory tax rates.
The Company’s income tax provision was $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was an income tax provision of 38.4% on pre-tax income of $2.2 million which differs from the statutory federal rate of 21% primarily due to state and local taxes, non-deductible permanent differences, limited benefit on current year interest deductions and losses in certain jurisdictions, the change in the fair value of warrant liabilities, foreign income at different rates and the U.S. tax effect of international operations including Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) recorded during the period.
The Company’s income tax provision was $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was an income tax provision of 32.5% on pre-tax income of $6.0 million which differs from the statutory federal rate of 21% primarily due to state and local taxes, non-deductible permanent differences, limited benefit on current year interest deductions and losses in certain jurisdictions, the change in the fair value of warrant liabilities, foreign income at different rates and the U.S. tax effect of international operations including GILTI recorded during the period.
The Company’s income tax benefit was $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, which includes a discrete income tax benefit of $4.2 million related to the receipt of a beneficial tax ruling in Switzerland which allows for future amortization deductions, the reversal of uncertain tax position liabilities as a result of the lapse of applicable statute of limitations, partially offset by a deferred tax provision related to a tax law change in the United Kingdom which was enacted during the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was an income tax benefit of 882.8% on a pre-tax loss of $0.5 million which differs from the statutory federal rate of 21% primarily due to these discrete tax items.
The Company’s income tax benefit was $7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, which includes a discrete income tax benefit of $4.3 million including the $4.2 million benefit recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2021 described above. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was an income tax benefit of 48.5% on a pre-tax loss of $16.2 million. The effective tax rate differs from the federal rate of 21% primarily due to these discrete tax benefits.
At both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had an uncertain tax position liability of $0.2 million, including interest and penalties. The unrecognized tax benefits include amounts related primarily to various state and foreign tax issues.
