Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $8 and $2 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and $33 and $12 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 respectively, related to state margin taxes and taxable earnings from foreign operations. The income tax expense differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% to the loss before income taxes. This is due to non-taxable income, foreign operations and pre-tax losses for which no tax benefit can be recognized for U.S. income tax purposes.

The Company estimates and applies the annual effective tax rate to its ordinary earnings each interim period. Any significant unusual or infrequent items are not included in the estimation of the annual effective tax rate; instead, these items and their related income tax expense are separately stated in the interim period in which they occur. The quarterly estimate of the annual effective tax rate and related tax expense is subject to variation due to a multitude of factors, including, but are not limited to, the inability to accurately predict the Company’s pre-tax and taxable income and loss.

At each balance sheet date, management assesses the likelihood that the Company will be able to realize its deferred tax assets. Management considered all available positive and negative evidence in assessing the need for a valuation allowance. The realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character and in the appropriate taxing jurisdiction during the future periods in which the related temporary differences become deductible. Management has determined that it is unlikely that the Company will be able to utilize its U.S. deferred tax assets at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 due to cumulative losses. Therefore, the Company has a valuation allowance against its net U.S. deferred tax assets.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has unrecognized tax benefits associated with uncertain tax positions that, if recognized, would not affect the effective tax rate on income from continuing operations. The Company is not currently under examination by any taxing jurisdiction and none of the uncertain tax positions are expected to reverse within the next 12 months.

The Company files income tax returns in U.S. federal and various state jurisdictions, as well as in Italy and India. The open tax years for federal returns are 2020 and forward and open tax years for state returns are generally 2019 and forward. In addition, net operating losses generated in closed years and utilized in open years are subject to adjustment by the tax authorities.
