INCOME TAXES
The Company recorded an income tax expense of $118,000 and $260,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. This tax expense is largely attributable to the deferred tax liability associated with the amortization of indefinite lived intangible assets and foreign income taxes associated with the Company’s operations in the United Kingdom and Australia. The Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance for its U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets.
The Company’s effective federal tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was negative 2.8% and negative 3.2%, respectively, primarily as a result of tax amortization of indefinite lived intangible assets.
The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 during the first quarter of 2017 as stipulated in the FASB guidance for publicly-traded entities. To account for the adoption of ASU 2016-09, the Company accounted for previously unrecognized excess tax benefits by recognizing those benefits during the first quarter of 2017. Due to the Company’s full valuation allowance, the adoption of the new guidance did not materially impact the Company’s financial statements.
