Income Taxes

The Company follows guidance under ASC Topic 740-270 Income Taxes, which requires that an estimated annual effective tax rate is applied to year-to-date ordinary income (loss). At the end of each interim period, the Company estimates the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. The tax effect of discrete items is recorded in the quarter in which the discrete events occur.

The Company recorded income tax expense of $9.9 million and a benefit of $14.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was unfavorably impacted by higher income reported in non-U.S. jurisdictions and an out of period increase in income tax expense of $1.4 million related to the Put Option (see Note 1 – Organization, Business and Out-of-Period Adjustments), partially offset by benefits related to excess equity-based compensation deductions recorded discretely during the quarter. The tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was favorably impacted by losses in non-U.S. jurisdictions which have higher tax rates than the U.S., partially offset by non-deductible expenses.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, no reserves for uncertain tax positions have been recorded. The Company will continue to monitor this position each interim period.
