NOTE 12. INCOME TAXES

 

The Company's effective income tax rate for the three months ended  June 30, 2020, was an expense of 0.1%. The difference between the federal statutory rate of 21.0% and the Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended  June 30, 2019, was primarily due to changes in our valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. The Company's effective income tax rate for the three months ended  June 30, 2019, was a benefit of 0.7%. The difference between the federal statutory rate of 21.0% and the Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended  June 30, 2019, was primarily due to changes in our valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and impairment of goodwill. 

 

The Company's effective income tax rate for the six months ended  June 30, 2020, was a benefit of 5.5%. The difference between the federal statutory rate of 21.0% and the Company's effective tax rate for the six months ended  June 30, 2020, was primarily due to changes in our valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, various permanent items and lapse in the applicable statute of limitations for certain uncertain tax positions. The Company's effective income tax rate for the six months ended  June 30, 2019, was a benefit of 43.9%. The difference between the federal statutory rate of 21.0% and the Company's effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019, was primarily due to changes in our valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, various permanent items, lapse in the applicable statute of limitations for certain uncertain tax positions and impairment of goodwill.

 

The Company entered into an indemnification agreement with the prior owners of Cadillac Jack (acquired in May of 2015) whereby the prior owners have agreed to indemnify the Company for changes in tax positions by taxing authorities for periods prior to the acquisition. As of June 30, 2020, an indemnification receivable of $0.7 million has been recorded in other assets in the financial statements. This amount includes the indemnification of the original pre-acquisition tax positions along with any related accrued interest and penalties and is offset by a corresponding liability for unrecognized tax benefits in other long-term liabilities. When the related unrecognized tax benefits are favorably resolved, a corresponding charge to relieve the associated indemnification receivable would be recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income.

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized a $3.5 million reduction in the indemnification receivable and related charges in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income primarily due to lapse in the applicable statute of limitations on indemnified tax positions. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized a $0.1 million increase and a $5.3 million reduction in the indemnification receivable and related charge in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income due to accrued interest and lapse in the applicable statute of limitations on indemnified tax positions.
