The Company has recorded a deferred tax asset associated with net operating losses of its foreign subsidiary. Realization of the deferred tax asset is contingent on the foreign subsidiary generating future taxable income. Given the foreign subsidiary has recently initiated operations and does not yet have a history of sales, the Company has concluded that the deferred tax asset does not currently meet the more-likely-than-not threshold for realizability. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been recorded with respect to the net operating losses of the Company’s foreign subsidiary in the amount of $82 at March 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2022 the amount of the valuation allowance was $68.

The current tax expense was $1,087 and $1,173 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Of the amount for the three months ended March 31, 2023, $835 relates to Silvercrest’s corporate tax expense, $252 relates to SLP’s state and local liability and $0 relates to SFS’s corporate tax expense. The deferred tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $302 and $1,801, respectively. When combined with current tax expense, the total income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 is $1,389 and $2,974, respectively. There was no discrete tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

The current tax expense decreased from the comparable period in 2022 mainly due to decreased profitability.

Of the total current tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, $83 and $97, respectively, relates to non-controlling interests. Of the deferred tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, $5 and $25, respectively, relates to non-controlling interests. When combined with current tax expense, the total income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 related to non-controlling interests is $88 and $122, respectively.

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by federal, state, and local tax regulators. As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for the years 2019 through 2022 are open under the normal three-year statute of limitations and therefore subject to examination.

The guidance for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be

recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company does not believe that it has any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months. Furthermore, the Company does not have any material uncertain tax positions at March 31, 2023 and 2022.
