9. Income Taxes

We recognized income tax expense of $3.3 million and income tax benefit of $4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, based on the quarter-to-date pre-tax income. We recognized income tax benefit of $17.4 million and $11.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, based on the year-to-date pre-tax income. The Company’s effective income tax rate was 37.7% and 23.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and was 31.3% and 24.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Differences in the effective tax and statutory federal income tax rate of 21% are driven by state income taxes, research and development credit claimed, and offset by permanent differences.
