For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized income tax expense of $1.6 million resulting in an effective tax rate of (54.4)% and (2.4)%, respectively. The primary reconciling items between the federal statutory rate of 21.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and the Company’s overall effective tax rate of (54.4)% and (2.4)%, respectively, was the effect of equity compensation, generation of tax credits, deferred state income taxes and the valuation allowance recorded against the full amount of its net deferred tax assets. The Company did not record an income tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 as it generated tax losses during each of the periods.

A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the period in which related temporary differences become deductible. The Company continues to establish a valuation allowance against the full amount of its net deferred tax assets since it is more likely than not that benefits will not be realized, including those benefits created in the current year. This assessment is based on the Company's historical cumulative losses, which provide strong objective evidence that cannot be overcome with projections of income, as well as the fact the Company expects continuing losses in the future.
