Note 14.  Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The $2.9 million decrease was primarily due to a decrease in pre-tax book income.

The effective tax rate (“ETR”) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was less than the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily attributable to Foreign Derived Intangible Income deduction and Federal research and development tax credits. The reported ETR for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 13.6% compared to 12.5% for the respective 2024 period. The increase in the reported ETR is primarily related to a decrease in pre-tax book income and stock-based compensation.
