Note I – Income Taxes
The table below presents the Company’s effective income tax rate on pre-tax income from continuing operations for the following periods:
Three Months Ended
March 31, 2023 March 31, 2022
Effective tax rate 0.4  % 14.3  %
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 differs from the U.S. federal income tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to the valuation allowance on the realization of the deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 differs from the U.S. federal income tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to nondeductible compensation costs on the Class P Unit Incentive plan, contingent earnout payments from the MIS acquisition, and state income tax expense.

The Company assesses the deferred tax assets for recoverability on a quarterly basis. In assessing the realizability of deferred income tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that some or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards are available. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company concluded that it is more-likely-than-not that substantially all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized and established a full valuation allowance, whereas the Company concluded that substantially all of the deferred tax assets are more-likely-than-not realizable for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The change from the three months ended March 31, 2022 to the three months ended March 31, 2023 was driven by the additional amount of deferred tax assets expected to be generated on taxable losses, which resulted in an increase to the valuation allowance.

The effective tax rate was 0.4% compared to 14.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively. The difference in effective tax rate between periods was primarily related to an increase in the valuation allowance during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
