Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income taxes as well as state taxes. The Company did not record an income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company’s income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was $0.2 million representing foreign withholding taxes incurred in connection with payments received under license agreements with foreign entities.

Management has evaluated the positive and negative evidence surrounding the realization of its deferred tax assets, including the Company’s history of losses, and under the applicable accounting standards determined that it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The difference between the effective tax rate of the Company and the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% on March 31, 2023, is due to the valuation allowance against the Company’s expected net operating losses.

As discussed in Note 10, the Company is party to a tax receivable agreement with a related party which provides for the payment by the Company to M&F (or certain of its transferees or other assignees) of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that the Company actually realizes (or, in some circumstances, the Company is deemed to realize) as a result of certain transactions. As no transactions have occurred which would trigger a liability under this agreement, the Company has not recognized any liability related to this agreement as of March 31, 2023.
