Note 6 – Income Taxes Income taxes are recorded at the Company’s estimated annual effective income tax rate, subject to adjustments for discrete events, should they occur. The Company recorded a benefit for income taxes of $0.3 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared to income tax expense of $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2023. The Company’s effective income tax rate including discrete events was 9.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to 6.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company’s projected annual effective tax rate differs from the statutory U.S. tax rate of 21% primarily due to the following: (i) tax credits for FICA taxes on certain employees’ tips (ii) taxes owed in foreign jurisdictions with tax rates that differ from the U.S. statutory rate; (iii) taxes owed in state and local jurisdictions; and (iv) the tax effect of non-deductible compensation. Income tax provision recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 included the discrete period tax benefits resulting from the vesting of restricted stock units. The Company is subject to U.S. federal, state, local and various foreign income taxes for the jurisdictions in which it operates. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by the federal, state, local and foreign taxing authorities. There are no ongoing federal, state, local, or foreign tax examinations as of March 31, 2024. |
