The consolidated effective tax rate was (2.5)% and (3.7)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The change in effective tax rate over the two periods was predominantly reflective of the change in profit before tax of the Company's foreign jurisdictions, change in valuation allowance and change in uncertain tax positions relating to transfer pricing methodology.
The Company's unrecognized tax benefits related to tax positions, excluding penalty and interest, amounted to $11.2 million and $17.1 million as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease was primarily driven by the change in transfer pricing methodology in prior year. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax expense (benefits) are recognized in income tax expense, when applicable. Interest and penalties amounted to $0.7 million and $0.8 million as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company's management believes it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits could change within the next 12 months.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law in the U.S. in 2020 to provide certain relief as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Employee Retention Credit ("ERC") program was established under the CARES Act whereby companies who meet the eligibility requirements may claim a tax credit against certain employment taxes paid in 2020 and 2021. The Company in the second quarter of 2025 recorded $11.7 million of tax refund received under the ERC program which is presented under “General and Administrative expense” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
On July 4, 2025, a new U.S. tax legislation was signed into law known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 ("OBBBA") which includes both tax and non-tax provisions. The changes resulting from the tax provisions in OBBBA are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations.
