The Company historically calculated the provision for U.S. income taxes during interim reporting periods by applying the annual effective tax rate (“AETR”) method generally required by ASC 740-270. For the second quarter of 2025, the Company determined that the continued application of the AETR method was not reliable because sensitivity from nominal changes to projected pre-tax earnings can result in significant variability in the AETR. Consequently, the Company calculated its income taxes based on the actual year-to-date loss and concluded that this method (the “discrete method”), as allowed by ASC 740-270-30-18, is more appropriate than the AETR method for the period ended June 30, 2025. Under the discrete method, the Company calculated its U.S. income tax benefit as though the interim year-to-date period was an annual period. For the third quarter of 2025, the Company determined that the discrete method remained more appropriate for the same reasons.
The Company recognized a provision for income taxes of $1.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 based on the discrete method, compared to a benefit for income tax of $1.0 million for the same period in 2024 under the AETR method. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was 83.7% under the discrete method, compared with 15.2% for the same period in 2024 under the AETR method.
The benefit for income taxes was $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 under the discrete method, compared to $3.6 million for the same period in 2024 under the AETR method. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was 6.0% under the discrete method, compared with 14.7% for the same period in 2024 under the AETR method. For both the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the effective tax rate differs from the 21% federal statutory tax rate primarily due to non-deductible items.
