Income Taxes

Note 6 — Income Taxes

We operate in multiple jurisdictions with complex tax laws subject to interpretation and judgment. We believe that our application of such laws and the tax impact thereof are reasonable and fairly presented in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized income tax expense of $2.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of (5.4)% and (4.0)%, respectively. These variances were primarily attributable to the earnings mix between our higher and lower tax rate jurisdictions as well as losses for which no financial statement benefits have been recognized. For both periods, our aggregate tax expense was greater than the aggregate tax benefit of our losses, resulting in negative effective tax rates. The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 was significantly lower than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to non-creditable foreign income and deemed profit taxes, as well as unbenefited tax losses.
