The Company determines its estimated annual effective tax rate at the end of each interim period based on estimated pre-tax income (loss) and facts known at that time. The estimated annual effective tax rate is applied to the year-to-date pre-tax income (loss) at the end of each interim period with certain adjustments. The tax effects of significant unusual or extraordinary items are reflected as discrete adjustments in the periods in which they occur. The Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate can change based on the mix of jurisdictional pre-tax income (loss) and other factors. However, if the Company is unable to make a reliable estimate of its annual effective tax rate, then the actual effective tax rate for the year-to-date period may be the best estimate. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, the Company determined that its annual effective tax rate approach would provide for a reliable estimate and therefore used this method to calculate its tax provision.
The Company’s effective income tax rate was 19.9% and 27.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rate was 19.4% and 33.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021 differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the geographical mix of earnings and related foreign tax rate differential, permanent differences, research and development tax credits, and the valuation allowance maintained against certain deferred tax assets.
The Company’s income tax benefit was $2.8 million and $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The Company’s income tax benefit was $5.3 and $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The change in the income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended 2021 was primarily due to changes in the jurisdictional mix of earnings and the impact of the change in fair value of warrant liability which is not taxable.
