14. INCOME TAXES

 

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $3.0 million and $6.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, and an income tax provision of $3.5 million and $5.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. In all of these periods, the income tax provision primarily relates to U.S. Federal and state taxes on income.

 

The Company records a deferred tax asset or liability based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of its assets and liabilities, as measured by enacted jurisdictional tax rates assumed to be in effect when these differences reverse. At September 30, 2015, the Company maintained a valuation allowance against certain of its U.S. and foreign deferred tax assets.  The Company evaluates, at each reporting period, the need for a valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis.
