Income tax expense is recorded relative to the jurisdictions that recognize book earnings. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized income tax expense of $3.8 million on pre-tax earnings of $20.6 million, representing an effective income tax rate of 18.5% compared to income tax expense of $3.5 million on pre-tax loss of ($51.4) million, representing an effective income tax rate of (6.9%) for the same period in 2020. The comparison of pre-tax earnings of $20.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to the pre-tax loss of ($51.4) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 should be considered when comparing effective tax rates for the respective periods.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company computed an annual effective tax rate using forecasted information. Based on current forecasts, which take into account a range of potential impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company’s effective tax rate is expected to be highly sensitive to changes in earnings. The Company concluded that computing its effective tax rate using forecasted information would be appropriate in estimating tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

A number of items caused the effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to differ from the US federal statutory income tax rate of 21%, including a 23% statutory tax rate in Canada, certain nondeductible business expenses in Poland, and various exchange rate benefits. The Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets for CMR, United States, and CRM.
