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 months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, 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 2.0% and 16.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022 differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the geographical mix of earnings and related foreign tax rate differential, permanent differences, and the valuation allowance maintained against certain deferred tax assets.
The Company’s income tax benefit was $0.4 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The change in the income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, was primarily due to changes in the jurisdictional mix of earnings and the impact of the valuation allowance maintained against certain deferred tax assets.
