Income Tax

Income Tax

In determining the quarterly (benefit) provisions for income taxes, the Company uses the annual estimated effective tax rate applied to the actual year-to-date (loss) income, adjusted for discrete items arising in that quarter. In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws or rates and tax status is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs.

The computation of the estimated annual effective income rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, the expected pre-tax income (or loss) for the year, projections of the proportion of income (and/or loss) earned and tax in foreign jurisdictions and permanent and temporary differences. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision or benefit for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained or the Company’s tax environment changes. To the extent that the estimated annual effective income tax rate changes during a quarter, the effect of the change on prior quarters is included in the income tax (benefit) provision in the quarter in which the change occurs.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $(14,051) and $(1,000), respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $1,452 and $253, respectively. The Company’s annual estimated effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily as a result of the nondeductible fair value adjustments on the change in the warrant liabilities, and was also impacted by the change in valuation allowance, nondeductible officer compensation, the foreign derived intangible income deduction, and the research and development credit. Due to the ongoing market volatility of the fair value adjustments on the warrant liabilities, the adjustments are not estimable and as a result, the Company applied the tax effect of the fair value adjustment to the warrant liabilities as a discrete item in the current quarter.
