Item 1A. Risk Factors.
For an in-depth discussion of our risk factors, see “Part I—Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report in addition to the risk factor discussed below. All of these risks and uncertainties, including the risk discussed below, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Changes in tax laws or the interpretation thereof or the imposition of new or increased taxes may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
U.S. federal and state legislation is periodically proposed that would, if enacted into law, make significant changes to tax laws and could materially increase our tax obligations, adversely affecting our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. For example, on August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”) which includes, among other things, a corporate alternative minimum tax (the “CAMT”). Under the CAMT, a 15% minimum tax will be imposed on certain financial statement income of “applicable corporations.” The IRA treats a corporation as an applicable corporation in any taxable year in which the “average annual adjusted financial statement income” of such corporation for the three taxable year period ending with such taxable year exceeds $1 billion.
Based on our current interpretation of the IRA and the CAMT and a number of operational, economic, accounting and regulatory assumptions, we do not anticipate being an applicable corporation in the near term, but we are likely to become an applicable corporation in a subsequent tax year. If we become an applicable corporation and our CAMT liability is greater than our regular U.S. federal income tax liability for any particular tax year, the CAMT liability would effectively accelerate our future U.S. federal income tax obligations, reducing our cash available for distribution in that year, but provide an offsetting credit against our regular U.S. federal income tax liability for the future year. As a result, our current expectation is that the impact of the CAMT is limited to timing differences in future tax years.
The foregoing analysis is based upon our current interpretation of the provisions contained in the IRA and the CAMT. In the future the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service are expected to release regulations and interpretive guidance relating
to such legislation, and any significant variance from our current interpretation could result in a change in our analysis of the application of the CAMT to us.
