Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate was 25.8% for the first half of 2023 and 25.9% for the first half of 2022. The Company’s income tax expense was $83.5 million for the first half of 2023 and $67.6 million for the first half of 2022. The increase in income tax expense was primarily attributable to higher income before taxes during the first half of 2023 compared to the first half of 2022.

The Company had uncertain tax positions, including accrued interest, of $0.4 million on June 30, 2023 and $0.3 million on December 31, 2022, all of which would affect the Company’s effective income tax rate if recognized. While it is expected the amount of uncertain tax positions may change in the next 12 months, the Company does not expect such change would have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Prior tax years beginning in year 2019 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, and various tax years beginning in year 1999 remain open to examination by certain state tax jurisdictions due to loss carryforwards.
