Income Tax Expense
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, our effective tax rate was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate due to lower U.S. income before income tax expense primarily resulting from the asset impairment loss associated with our operations in California, as described in Note 2.

There was no significant variation in the customary relationship between income tax expense and income before income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

One Big Beautiful Bill Act
On July 4, 2025, legislation commonly known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB) was enacted, which resulted in a broad range of changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). The most significant provisions affecting us include the following:
extension of the clean fuel production credit through December 31, 2029;
requirement that feedstocks for fuel produced after December 31, 2025 must be produced or grown exclusively in the U.S., Mexico, or Canada in order for such fuel to be eligible for the clean fuel production credit;
elimination of the special clean fuel production credit rate for SAF produced after December 31, 2025;
permanent reinstatement of the provision that allows companies to expense 100 percent of the cost of qualified property acquired and placed in service after January 19, 2025; and
modification of several international tax provisions, including those relating to net controlled foreign corporation tested income (formerly global intangible low-taxed income) and foreign-derived deduction eligible income (formerly foreign-derived intangible income) beginning January 1, 2026.

We are currently evaluating the effects of these changes and other provisions of this legislation on our financial position, results of operations, and liquidity in the future; however, we do not expect that the OBBB will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, and liquidity in 2025.
