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, 2016, a tax expense of $300 and $159, respectively, resulted in an effective tax rate of (13.1)% and (0.9)%, respectively. Differences in the tax provision and the statutory rate are primarily due to changes in the valuation allowance. The tax expense reported in the third quarter is largely due to changes in transfer pricing estimates.
During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015, a tax expense of $3 and $246, respectively, resulted in an effective tax rate of (0.1)% and (0.1)%, respectively. Differences in the tax provision and statutory rate are primarily due to changes in the valuation allowance.
