Income tax benefit was $9.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $6.6 million.

The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to a combination of the discrete tax benefit recognized in the quarter related to the Silver matter that was finalized during the second fiscal quarter of 2024 as well as the impact of the year-to-date cumulative adjustment of the second fiscal quarter of 2023 estimated effective tax rate on near break-even pre-tax book loss for the quarter.

Previous wording

Income tax benefit was $32.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $25.6 million. The increase in the income tax benefit is attributable to an increase in the pre-tax book loss for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, and an increase in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 of 54.9% compared to 26.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to limitations on the deductibility of certain executive compensation that now apply to the Company upon completion of its IPO in January 2024, as well as the discrete tax benefit recognized in the period related to the Silver matter that was finalized during the second fiscal quarter of 2024. See Note 10 within the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on the matter.

The increase in the income tax benefit is attributable to an increase in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 of 39.0% compared to 8.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to limitations on the deductibility of certain executive compensation that now apply to the Company upon completion of its IPO in January 2024, as well as the discrete tax benefit recognized in the period related to the Silver matter that was finalized during the second fiscal quarter of 2024. During 2023, the Company's effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal income tax rate, primarily as a result of the unfavorable impact of the Silver legal settlement, which was not expected to be deductible for tax purposes at that time. See Note 10 within the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on the matter.

Previous wording
