	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023			2022
Effective tax rate		0.778	%		(0.356	%)

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $71 and income tax expense of $32, respectively.

The Company’s 2023 and 2022 income tax expense and rates differed from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate to pre-tax income primarily as a result of the U.S., Finland, U.K., Germany and Italy jurisdictions that have a full valuation allowance recorded on deferred tax assets. In addition, the tax rate is lower than the U.S. statutory federal tax rate as a result of foreign earnings that are taxed at lower tax rates.

The Company continues to monitor the realization of its deferred tax assets and assesses the need for a valuation allowance. The Company analyzes available positive and negative evidence to determine if a valuation allowance is needed based on the weight of the evidence. This objectively verifiable evidence includes the current & prior two years' profit and loss positions after considering pre-tax book income plus or minus permanent adjustments as well as other positive & negative evidence available. This process requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that are uncertain in nature. The Company has established a valuation allowance with respect to deferred tax assets in the U.S., Finland, U.K., Germany, and Italy and continues to monitor and assess potential valuation allowances in all its jurisdictions.
