12. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate was (16.2)% and (298.4)% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to an effective tax rate of 26.8% and 24.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was lower than the statutory federal rate of 21% primarily as a result of the impact of goodwill impairment. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was higher than the statutory federal rate of 21% primarily as a result of state income taxes and Canadian losses for which no benefit is recognized. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was higher than the statutory federal rate of 21% primarily as a result of state income taxes.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law, which includes tax reform provisions that amend, eliminate and extend tax rules under the Inflation Reduction Act and Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The most significant impact to the Company of the OBBBA at this time is the permanent reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation on qualified property. The Company is currently evaluating the full effects of the legislation on its effective tax rate and cash tax position, but the Company expects that the legislation will likely not have a significant negative impact on its consolidated financial statements. As the legislation was signed into law after the close of the second quarter, the impacts are not included in the Company’s operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
