Income Taxes

Note 15. Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset-and-liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We recognize the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. We did not rely on any uncertain tax positions in recording our income tax-related amounts during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Our federal and state income tax benefit (provision) is summarized below:

	For the Three Months Ended June 30,				For the Six Months Ended June 30,

A reconciliation of the benefit from (provision for) income taxes with amounts determined by applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate to income before income taxes is as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended June 30,										For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2026					2025					2026					2025
Pre-Tax Net Book Income (“NBI”)	$	1,868				$	1,470				$	3,386				$	2,900

Reduction (increase) in provision for income taxes resulting from:

Effective income tax rate	(0.6)		%			(1.1)		%			(1.0)		%			(1.4)		%

(1)Although the Texas Margin Tax is not considered a state income tax, it has the characteristics of an income tax since it is determined by applying a tax rate to a base that considers our Texas-sourced revenues and expenses.
