11. INCOME TAXES

The Company calculates its interim income tax provision in accordance with ASC Topic 270, Interim Reporting (“ASC 270”), and ASC 740. The Company’s effective tax rate (“ETR”) from continuing operations was (10.2)% and (20.2)% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively. Income tax expense recorded by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 was $1.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The difference between the ETR and federal statutory rate of 21.0% is primarily attributable to items recorded for U.S. GAAP but permanently disallowed for U.S. federal income tax purposes, recognition of a U.S. federal and state valuation allowance and state and foreign income tax provisions.

A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more-likely-than-not some of the Company’s deferred tax assets may not be realized. Significant judgment is applied when assessing the need for a valuation allowance and the Company considers future taxable income, reversals of existing deferred tax assets and liabilities and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies, in making such assessment. As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s U.S. federal, state and various foreign net deferred tax assets are not more-likely-than-not to be realized and a full valuation allowance is maintained.

The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740, on the basis of a two-step process in which (i) the Company determines whether it is more likely than not a tax position will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of such position and (ii) for those tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company would recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50.0% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. The Company has determined it has no uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2023. The Company classifies interest and penalties recognized on uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense.
