The Company’s effective tax rate was 38.4% and 25.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to 38.3% and 38.2% for the same periods in 2016. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2017 included benefits of $1.5 million related to excess tax benefits from share-based award payments which were recognized under ASU 2016-09. There were no such benefits recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2017 or for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.
The total gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits related to federal, state and foreign taxes was approximately $0.2 million for both June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, all of which would impact the Company’s effective tax rate, if recognized. The expiration of the statute of limitations for certain tax positions in future years could result in all of the $0.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits being recognized through June 30, 2018.
The Company files U.S. federal, state and foreign income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. The 2013 to 2016 tax years remain subject to examination by federal and state authorities. The 2012 tax year is still open for certain state tax authorities. The 2009 to 2016 tax years remain subject to examination by the tax authorities in Canada.
