9. Income Taxes

The Company recorded a valuation allowance against the majority of its deferred tax assets at the end of fiscal year 2014. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2019, due to the preponderance of positive evidence, including the Company’s cumulative profit before taxes and future forecasts of continued profitability for the United States, the Company determined that sufficient positive evidence existed to conclude that substantially all of its valuation allowance was no longer needed. Accordingly; the Company recorded a benefit from income taxes of $49.4 million related to the release of the valuation allowance for the majority of its federal and state deferred tax assets. The Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance related to its deferred tax assets for its foreign entities and California research and development tax credits. If there are unfavorable changes to actual operating results or to projections of future income, the Company may determine that it is more likely than not such deferred tax assets may not be realizable. The Company recorded a net benefit from income taxes of $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 primarily due to the income tax accounting treatment in interim periods for the impacts of the release of the valuation allowance for most of the United States federal and all states deferred tax assets with the exception of California research and development tax credits.

 

The Company’s tax provision or benefit from income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any. Each quarter the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate and makes a year-to-date adjustment to the provision. The primary difference between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory tax rate relates to the release of the valuation allowance related to the United States federal and state deferred tax assets with the exception of California research and development tax credits and the benefit of excess share-based compensation tax deductions.

 

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Tax Reform Act significantly impacts the future ongoing U.S. corporate income tax by, among things, lowering the U.S. corporate income tax rates from 34% to 21%, providing for unlimited net operating loss carry-forward periods, and implementing a territorial tax system. The reduction of the U.S. corporate tax rate required the Company to revalue its U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities to the recently enacted federal rate of 21%, however due to the Company’s valuation allowance on domestic deferred tax assets as of the effective date of the Tax Reform Act, there was no material impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of the federal tax rate reduction. The guidance provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the Tax Reform Act enactment date for companies to complete the accounting. In accordance with the guidance, a company must reflect the income tax effects of those aspects of the Tax Reform Act for which the accounting is complete. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company completed its analysis to determine the effect of the Tax Reform Act and recorded no adjustments as of December 31, 2018.
