5. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was 0.3% and 102.0%, respectively. The change in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to the Company’s projections for pre-tax book income in 2023, the effects of tax amortization on indefinite-lived intangibles in 2023, valuation allowances, and certain permanent differences between tax and financial reporting purposes. The Company’s income tax provision or benefit for interim periods has been determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate (“AETR”), adjusted for discrete items. The Company expects that it may reverse the tax benefit that was booked, as of March 31, 2023, in future interim periods, as pre-tax book income in future periods may offset the year-to-date, pre-tax loss.

The Company continues to assess the realizability of deferred tax assets (“DTAs”) and concluded that it has not met the “more likely than not” threshold. As of March 31, 2023, the Company continues to provide a valuation allowance against its DTAs that cannot be offset by existing deferred tax liabilities. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 740 (“ASC 740”), this assessment has taken into consideration the jurisdictions in which these DTAs reside.
