Income Taxes

The Company’s tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items arising in that quarter. In each quarter, the estimated annual effective tax rate is updated and a year to date adjustment is made to the provision. The Company’s quarterly effective tax rate can be subject to significant change due to the effect of discrete items arising in a given quarter. Beginning in the second quarter of 2021, the estimated annual effective tax rate includes both domestic and foreign entities acquired in the Merger. See Note 3, Business Combination, for further details.

Income tax expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, was $11,165 for an effective tax rate of 23.0 percent. The effective tax rate differed from the 21 percent federal statutory rate on pretax income primarily due to state income taxes, income taxes on foreign subsidiaries, partially offset by state and federal tax credits, and the deduction applicable to export activity.

Income tax expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, was $4,615 for an effective tax rate of 23.0 percent. The effective tax rate differed from the 21 percent federal statutory rate on pretax income primarily due to state taxes, nondeductible transaction costs, partially offset by state and federal tax credits and the deduction applicable to export activity.
