Income Taxes Income Taxes
The computation of the effective tax rate and provision at each interim period requires the use of certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income that is subject to tax, permanent differences between the Company’s GAAP earnings and taxable income, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets existing as of the balance sheet date. The estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change throughout the year as new events occur, additional information is obtained or as tax laws and regulations change. Accordingly, the effective tax rate for future interim periods may vary materially.
The Company is a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is subject to U.S. federal and state and local corporate-level income taxes on its share of taxable income from the Umbrella Partnership. The Umbrella Partnership is a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and a taxable entity for certain state and local taxes, such as New York City Unincorporated Business Tax (“UBT”). Further, the Company’s income tax provision and related income tax assets and liabilities are based on, among other things, an estimate of the impact of exchanges of shares of Class B Common Stock and Class B Units for shares of Class A Common Stock, inclusive of an analysis of tax basis and state tax implications of the Umbrella Partnership and its
underlying assets and liabilities. The Company’s estimate is based on the most recent information available. The tax basis and state impact of the Umbrella Partnership and its underlying assets and liabilities are based on estimates subject to finalization of the Company’s tax returns.

The Company had an effective tax rate of (39.1)% and 7.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively, and (20.4)% and 9.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively. The effective tax rates were calculated using an Annual Effective Tax Rate approach. The book income related to fair value changes to liabilities was excluded from forecasted earnings as these amounts are based on changes in stock price and are unable to be forecasted. The effective tax rates differed from the statutory rate primarily due to the portion of income allocated to noncontrolling interests, state and local taxes, and the impact of a full valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets, including those generated in the Company’s subsidiaries in the U.S. and the U.K and its investment in Umbrella.

The Company regularly evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax asset and may recognize or adjust any valuation allowance when it is more-likely-than-not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets may not be realized. As of September 30, 2025, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance of $74.4 million against its deferred tax assets, including those generated by its subsidiaries in the U.S. and U.K. and its investment in Umbrella. The key factor for providing a full valuation allowance was our 3-year cumulative operating losses. Once the Company begins generating profits, we will re-evaluate whether a full valuation allowance remains appropriate or if the allowance should be reduced. The Company files its tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business, the tax years that remain open under the statute of limitations may be subject to examinations by the appropriate tax authorities.
The Company is currently under examination by the New York City UBT for the years ended December 2020 and 2021. We do not believe that there is material exposure in connection with the examination. As of September 30, 2025, the Company has evaluated its tax filing positions and assessed no change to the reserve of $0.2 million unrecognized tax benefits.
