11. Income Taxes

BBX Capital and its subsidiaries file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return and income tax returns in various state and foreign jurisdictions.

Effective income tax rates for interim periods are based upon the Company’s current estimated annual rate, which varies based upon the Company’s estimate of taxable earnings or loss and the mix of taxable earnings or loss in the various states in which the Company operates. The Company’s effective tax rate was applied to income or loss before income taxes reduced by net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in joint ventures taxed as partnerships. In addition, the Company recognizes taxes related to unusual or infrequent items or resulting from a change in judgment regarding a position taken in a prior period as discrete items in the interim period in which the event occurs.

The Company’s effective income tax rate was approximately (19%) and 1% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was different than the expected federal income tax rate of 21% due to the impact of a change in the Company’s forecasted operating results for the annual period, which resulted in the reversal of the tax benefit recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company’s effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was different than the expected federal income tax rate of 21% due to the impact of the Company’s nondeductible executive compensation and state income taxes. The effective income tax rate for the 2020 period reflects a current estimated ordinary taxable loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 resulting primarily from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Company’s effective income tax rate was approximately 35% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 excludes the tax benefit associated with the $39.1 million Bass Pro litigation settlement, which the Company accounted for as a discrete item at the statutory income tax rate of 26%.
