Income Taxes
Our provision for income taxes as a percentage of pre-tax earnings (“effective tax rate”) is based on a current estimate of the annual effective income tax rate, adjusted to reflect the impact of discrete items. In accordance with ASC 740, jurisdictions forecasting losses that are not benefited due to valuation allowances are not included in our forecasted effective tax rate.
During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018, a tax expense of $216 and $157, respectively, resulted in an effective tax rate of (23.5)% and 6.0%, respectively. Differences in the tax provision and the statutory rate are primarily due to changes in the valuation allowance.
During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017, a tax benefit of $84 and $937, respectively, resulted in an effective tax rate of (1.7)% and (5.7)%, respectively. Differences in the tax provision and statutory rate are primarily due to changes in the valuation allowance. The tax benefit reported in the quarter is largely due to changes resulting from the finalization of the transfer pricing study.
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act"). The Tax Act significantly revises the future ongoing U.S. corporate income tax by, among other things, lowering U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% and implementing a territorial tax system. As a result of the valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax assets and the Company’s U.S. federal and state NOL carryovers, the changes in U.S. tax law have not impacted the Company’s annual effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018.
