| Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company is taxed as a C corporation and is subject to federal and state income taxes. The Company’s sole material tax asset is Opco, which is a limited liability company that is taxed as a partnership for federal and certain state and local income tax purposes. Opco’s net taxable income and related tax credits, if any, are passed through to its partners and included in the partner’s tax returns. The effect of taxes on the earnings or losses to the noncontrolling interest holders is not reported by the Company in its condensed consolidated financial statements. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $3,225 and income tax benefit of $191,990, respectively. The effective tax rate of (3.2)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 varied from the statutory United States federal income tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to the effect of interest expense disallowances under IRC Section 163(j) for which a full valuation allowance is recorded on the deferred tax asset, noncontrolling interest, and foreign, state and local income taxes. The effective tax rate of 15.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 varied from the statutory United States federal income tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to the effect of the tax impact of the goodwill impairment charge, noncontrolling interest, non-deductible executive compensation, excess tax benefits realized on share-based awards, partially offset by state income taxes, net of the federal benefit, and foreign taxes.
In connection with the Omni Acquisition, the Company entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement with certain Omni Holders. As of December 31, 2024 the Company recognized a Tax Receivable Agreement liability of $13,295, which equals the amount of Tax Receivable Agreement liability included in the Omni Acquisition Purchase Price Allocation. The Company revalued this liability as of September 30, 2025 and adjusted the liability recorded to $14,131. The Company recorded a valuation allowance against any deferred tax assets associated with tax benefits generated in conjunction with and subsequent to the acquisition which are subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement. Consequently, the Company concluded additional Tax Receivable Agreement payments related to the year ended December 31, 2024 would not be probable based on estimates of future taxable income over the term of the Tax Receivable Agreement. During the period ended September 30, 2025, the Company re-evaluated this position based on current earnings and the impacts of newly enacted tax legislation and concluded additional tax payments related to the period ended September 30, 2025 would not be probable and no additional liability was recorded. The Company will continue to evaluate if additional liabilities should be considered probable in future financial statements. The determination of the Tax Receivable Agreement liability requires the Company to make judgments in estimating the amount of tax attributes as of the date of exchanges (such as cash to be received by the Company on a hypothetical sale of assets and allocation of gain or loss to the Company at the time of the exchanges taking into consideration partnership tax rules). The amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement will also vary depending upon a number of factors, including tax rates in effect, as well as the amount, character, and timing of the taxable income of Opco in the future and the expected realization of tax benefits with respect to deferred tax assets related to tax attributes subject to Tax Receivable Agreement. Furthermore, amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement as a result of a change of control may be substantially in excess of the amounts set forth above due to, among other things, contractual provisions that require any such calculation to assume that all applicable tax benefits are used by the Company over the applicable tax years.
The Company recognizes income tax benefits from uncertain tax positions where the realization of the ultimate benefit is uncertain. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $2,470 and $2,131, respectively, of unrecognized income tax benefits, all of which would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. With a few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. examinations by tax authorities for years before 2018.
The Company also maintains a full valuation allowance to reserve against its net deferred tax assets, which are primarily related to interest expense carryforwards. The Company assessed the likelihood that its deferred tax assets would be recovered from estimated future taxable income and available tax planning strategies. In making this assessment, all available evidence was considered including economic climate, as well as reasonable tax planning strategies.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”), continues to put forth various initiatives, including Pillar Two rules which include the introduction of a global minimum tax at a rate of 15%. European Union member states agreed to implement the OECD’s Pillar Two rules with effective dates of January 1, 2024 and January 1, 2025, for different aspects of the directive and most have already enacted legislation. A number of other countries are also implementing similar legislation. As of September 30, 2025, based on the countries in which we do business that have enacted legislation effective January 1, 2025, the impact of these rules to our financial statements was not material. This may change as other
countries enact similar legislation and further guidance is released. We continue to closely monitor regulatory developments to assess potential impacts.
In general, it is the practice and intention of the Company to reinvest the earnings of its non-U.S. subsidiaries in those operations. As of September 30, 2025, the Company has not recorded a provision for U.S. or additional foreign withholding taxes on investments in foreign subsidiaries that are indefinitely reinvested. Generally, such amounts become subject to U.S. taxation upon the remittance of dividends and under certain other circumstances.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law, extending several key provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including, but not limited to, federal bonus depreciation and the expanded limitation on interest deductions under Section 163(j). The Company analyzed the impact of OBBBA and any tax benefits received through additional allowable interest expense and depreciation expense are not recognizable due to the valuation allowance position against federal and state net deferred tax assets.
