The following table provides a summary of the Company’s effective tax rate:

The Company’s effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were 15.8% and 37.3%, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company’s effective tax rate was driven by federal, state, and international tax benefits generated from operating losses in certain jurisdictions, offset by the inclusion of Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) and additional taxes to meet the global minimum tax in certain foreign jurisdictions. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company’s effective tax rate was driven by a $1.5 million shortfall from stock based compensation, offset by a tax benefit for intangible asset impairment.
Changes to income tax laws and regulations, in any of the tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates, could impact the effective tax rate. Various governments, both U.S. and non-U.S., are increasingly focused on tax reform and revenue-raising legislation. The current U.S. administration and legislators are considering new tax legislation, which may impact the Company's income tax provision. Further, legislation in foreign jurisdictions may be enacted, in continued response to the base erosion and profit-sharing (“BEPS”) project begun by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”).
The OECD released model rules related to a new 15% global minimum tax regime (“Pillar 2”). A number of the jurisdictions that the Company operates in have adopted some form of the model rules, which became effective beginning in 2024. The Pillar 2 rules are complex and provide for delays for implementing the tax during the early transition years, if certain conditions are met. The Company is calculating a $2.7 million expense related to Pillar 2 tax liability for the year ending December 31, 2025. Related changes in U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions could have an adverse effect on the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company will continue to monitor legislative activity across its U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions.
