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, 2024 March 31, 2023
Effective tax rate (1.4) % 0.4  %

The effective tax rate was (1.4)% and 0.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, 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, 2024.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, differs from the U.S. federal income tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to the valuation allowance on the realization of deferred tax assets.

The Company assesses the deferred tax assets for recoverability on a quarterly basis. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred 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, 2024 and 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.
