INCOME TAXES
The Company's effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2016 was 28.9%. In the third quarter of 2016, $19.3 million of the valuation allowance recorded on Australian net deferred tax assets was released, as the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the benefit of the net deferred tax assets would be realized, based on improved operating results that have recently generated positive ordinary income. Also in the third quarter of 2016, $11.0 million in deferred tax assets were written off in connection with the Company’s designation of certain intercompany loans as long-term investments. In the second quarter of 2016, the Company benefited from a favorable $5.6 million out of period deferred tax adjustment related to the KHE goodwill impairment recorded in the third quarter of 2015.
The Company's effective tax rate on the loss for continuing operations for the first nine months of 2015 was 4.9%, as a large portion of the goodwill impairment charge and the goodwill included in the loss on the KHE Campuses sale are permanent differences.
