Income Taxes Income Taxes
The Company’s tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that arise during the period. Each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate and, if the estimated annual effective tax rate changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment to tax expense or benefit in the period. The primary difference between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory tax rate is due to the valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets in certain jurisdictions.
The Company recorded $6 million of provision for income taxes and $6 million of benefit from income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively. The Company recorded $14 million and $2 million of provision
for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively. The provision for income taxes for 2023 was primarily attributable to positive pre-tax book income in the United States resulting in federal and state income taxes. The benefit from income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was primarily driven by 2023 losses generated in non-U.S. jurisdictions for which a tax benefit can be realized.
The Company regularly assesses the realizability of its deferred tax assets and establishes a valuation allowance if it is more-likely-than-not that some, or all, of its deferred tax assets will not be realized in the future. The Company evaluates and weighs all available evidence, both positive and negative, including its historic operating results, future reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities, as well as projected future taxable income. Changes in earnings performance and future earnings projections, among other factors, may cause the Company to adjust the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, which could materially impact the income tax expense in the period the Company determines that these factors have changed. As of September 30, 2024, the Company maintains a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets except for certain foreign jurisdictions.
The Company is subject to income tax audits in the United States and foreign jurisdictions. The Company recorded liabilities related to uncertain tax positions and believes that the Company has provided adequate reserves for income tax uncertainties in all open tax years. To the extent the Company has tax attribute carryforwards, the tax years in which the attribute was generated may still be adjusted upon examination by the federal, state, or foreign tax authorities to the extent utilized in a future period.
