NOTE 5. TAXES

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company’s effective tax rate was (29.6%), compared to (22.1%) for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The Company’s negative effective tax rates in 2023 and 2022 reflect a tax expense on a pretax book loss in both periods.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was lower than the Company’s statutory tax rate primarily due to taxes on foreign operations and valuation allowances recorded in certain jurisdictions against deferred tax assets that are not more likely than not to be realized.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was lower than the Company’s statutory tax rate primarily due to taxes on foreign operations and the increase in valuation allowances recorded in certain jurisdictions against deferred tax assets that are not more likely than not to be realized. For the period ended June 30, 2022, the addition to valuation allowances primarily relates to a partial valuation allowance established against certain deferred tax assets in the United States.
