Inflation generally impacts us by increasing our costs of labor, material, transportation and pricing from third party manufacturers.

Based on the current economic outlook, inflationary pressures could affect our financial performance in the future if cost increases cannot be offset by net realized annual price increases and productivity gains.

Provision for income taxes. The provision for income taxes decreased by $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, resulting in effective tax rates of negative 0.6% and negative 4.9%, respectively.

The negative effective tax rate of 0.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the impairment loss, changes in the valuation allowance that we maintain against our deferred tax assets, income earned by certain foreign subsidiaries being taxed at different rates than the U.S. federal statuary rate, and excess tax benefits associated with share-based compensation.
