INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXES
At the end of each interim period, Vimeo estimates the annual expected effective income tax rate and applies that rate to its ordinary year-to-date earnings or loss with discrete items recorded in the period. The estimates used to compute the provision or benefit for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained, or Vimeo's tax environment changes.
For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, Vimeo recorded an income tax provision of $0.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, Vimeo recorded an income tax provision of $1.3 million and $3.3 million, respectively. The effective income tax rate was higher than the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the effects of international tax provisions as required under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the impact of executive compensation limits under Internal Revenue Code 162(m), partially offset by the movement in the valuation allowance. Vimeo's largest deferred tax assets are capitalized research and development expenses and tax attribute carryforwards. Vimeo has recorded a valuation allowance for the majority of its net deferred tax assets because it has concluded that it is more likely than not that the tax benefit will not be realized.
At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, were $6.8 million and $6.0 million, respectively. The Company estimates that it would recognize an income tax benefit of $1.0 million if unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2025 are subsequently recognized. Vimeo believes no unrecognized tax benefits would decrease by September 30, 2026. Vimeo recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if applicable, in the income tax provision.

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. government enacted The One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 ("OBBB"), which includes, among other provisions, changes to the U.S. corporate income tax system. We applied the relevant provisions of the OBBB that became effective in the third quarter of 2025, including the immediate deduction of domestic research and development expenses, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Other changes include the permanent extensions of specific provisions within the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which will become effective in 2026.
