12. Income Taxes

The Company files income tax returns in various federal, state and local jurisdictions. Tax years from 2018 forward remain open for examination by Federal authorities. Tax years from 2017 forward remain open for all significant state and foreign authorities.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions pursuant to ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the liability for uncertain tax positions totaled approximately $0.2 million, which is included in “Other liabilities” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recognizes accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions and penalties, if any, in income tax expense within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Certain of the Company’s undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries are not permanently reinvested. Since foreign earnings have already been subject to United States income tax in 2017 as a result of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the Company intends to repatriate foreign-held cash as needed. The Company records deferred income tax attributable to foreign withholding taxes that would become payable should it decide to repatriate cash held in our foreign operations. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company recorded deferred income taxes of approximately $0.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively, on the undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries.

Income tax expense was $0.4 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $1.1 million and $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was 7.4% compared with 19.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and the effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was 13.1% compared with 13.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The effective income tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 differ from the United States federal statutory rate. The Company's effective rate is affected by certain other permanent differences, including state income taxes, non-deductible incentive stock-based compensation and differences in tax rates among jurisdictions in which it

operates. Additionally, the Company received a tax indemnification payment of $0.5 million, related to a prior year acquisition, in the second quarter of 2024.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development/G20 Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting published the Pillar Two model rules designed to address the tax challenges arising from the digitalization of the global economy which introduces a 15% global minimum corporate tax for companies with revenues above €750 million calculated on a country-by-country basis. On February 1, 2023, the FASB indicated that it believes the minimum tax imposed under Pillar Two is an alternative minimum tax, and, accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities associated with the minimum tax would not be recognized or adjusted for the estimated future effects of the minimum tax but would be recognized in the period incurred. Aspects of Pillar Two legislation have been enacted in certain jurisdictions in which the Company operates effective for accounting periods commencing on or after January 1, 2024. However, based on the current revenue threshold, the Company is currently not subject to Pillar Two taxes.
