Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 is 5.3% and (18.4)%, respectively. The primary drivers for the differences in the rates from the prior-year period to the current-year period are related to differences in forecasted pre-tax book income, the impact of stock compensation, an increase in foreign tax liabilities and the impact of valuation allowance build.

Provision for income taxes consists of U.S. and state income taxes and income taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions in which the Company conducts business. While the Company is in an overall deferred tax liability position for the period ended March 31, 2020, based on the full-year forecast, the Company expects to be in a gross deferred tax asset position as of the year ended December 31, 2020. Based on an analysis of the utilization of its federal and state deferred tax assets, the Company has included in its FIN18 forecasted effective tax rate a valuation allowance build for the portion of deferred tax assets for which there is not sufficient offsetting future deferred tax liabilities. The Company still maintains a full valuation allowance for its Israel tax position due to the lack of taxable earnings for the foreseeable future.

The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not record any material interest or penalties.

The Company files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, in several state jurisdictions, and in several foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for years before 2015 and is no longer subject to state, local and foreign income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2014. The Company is currently under audit for income tax in a single foreign jurisdiction. The audit is ongoing and is not expected to materially impact the consolidated financial statements. The Company has an Uncertain Tax Position reserve related to this foreign jurisdiction filing that should sufficiently cover any related assessment.
