INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXES
Our income tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items.
Provision (benefit) for income taxes and Income (loss) from continuing operations before provision (benefit) for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were as follows (in thousands):

Our U.S. Federal income tax rate is 21%. The primary factors impacting the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were the pretax losses incurred in jurisdictions that have valuation allowances against their net deferred tax assets and by benefits due to tax refunds received. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was further impacted by additional tax expense resulting from the signing of an advance pricing agreement with international tax authorities during the quarter and an increase in the Company's liability related to unremitted foreign earnings. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we continue to maintain a full valuation allowance against all U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets.
Given the Company’s recent history of U.S. taxable earnings, we believe that there is a reasonable possibility that within the next twelve months sufficient positive evidence may become available to allow the Company to reach a conclusion that a significant portion of the U.S. federal and state valuation allowance recorded will no longer be needed. The reversal would result in an income tax benefit for the quarterly and annual fiscal period in which the Company releases the valuation allowance. However, the exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release, if at all, are subject to significant judgment and are dependent on the level of profitability and likelihood of future utilization of attributes that we are able to actually achieve.
We expect that our consolidated effective tax rate in future periods will continue to differ significantly from the U.S. federal income tax rate as a result of our tax obligations in jurisdictions with profits and valuation allowances in jurisdictions with losses.
In general, it is our practice and intention to reinvest the earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries in those operations or remit such earnings in a tax-efficient manner. Additionally, an actual repatriation from our non-U.S. subsidiaries could be subject to foreign and U.S. state income taxes. Aside from limited exceptions for which the related deferred tax liabilities recognized as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are immaterial, we do not intend to distribute earnings of foreign subsidiaries for which we have an excess of the financial reporting basis over the tax basis of our investments and therefore have not recorded any deferred taxes related to such amounts. The actual tax cost resulting from a distribution would depend on income tax laws and circumstances at the time of distribution. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability related to the excess of the financial reporting basis over the tax basis of our foreign subsidiaries is not practical due to the complexities associated with the calculation.
We are currently under audit by several foreign jurisdictions. It is likely that the examination phase of some of those audits will conclude in the next 12 months. There are many factors, including factors outside of our control, which influence the progress and completion of those audits.
