Income Taxes (Restated).
Income Taxes (Restated)	11. Income Taxes (Restated) CWH is organized as a Subchapter C corporation and, on October 6, 2016, as part of the Company’s IPO, became a 22.6% owner of CWGS, LLC (see Note 13 — Stockholders’ Equity). CWGS, LLC is organized as a limited liability company and treated as a partnership for federal tax purposes, with the exception of Americas Road and Travel Club, Inc., CW, and FreedomRoads RV, Inc. (“FRRV”) and their wholly-owned subsidiaries, which are Subchapter C corporations. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 8.9% and 3.2%, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 10.5% and 2.4%, respectively. The amount of income tax expense and the effective income tax rate increased in 2017 primarily because CWH was also subject to U.S. federal, state and local taxes on its allocable share of taxable income or loss generated by CWGS, LLC subsequent to the Company’s IPO, and also partially to the increased profitability of FRRV. The Company's effective tax rate is significantly less than the federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily because no federal income taxes are payable by the Company for the non-controlling interests' share of CWGS, LLC’s taxable income due to CWGS, LLC’s pass-through structure for federal and most state and local income tax reporting, with the exception of the Subchapter C corporations noted above. The Company evaluates its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis to determine if they can be realized and establishes valuation allowances when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets may not be realized. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company determined that all of its deferred tax assets, except those pertaining to CW and the direct investment in the outside basis of CWGS, LLC, are more likely than not to be realized. The Company maintains a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets of CW, since it was determined that it would have insufficient taxable income in the current or carryforward periods under the tax laws to realize the future tax benefits of its deferred tax assets. The Company maintains a valuation allowance against the portion of the deferred tax asset pertaining to the outside basis of CWGS, LLC that is not amortizable for tax purposes, since the Company would likely only realize the non-amortizable portion of the deferred tax asset if the investment in CWGS, LLC was divested. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, TheHouse.com was acquired by CW (see Note 9 — Acquisitions) and the related deferred tax liabilities acquired reduced the amount of the valuation allowance necessary for the deferred tax assets of CW by $6.0 million. The deferred taxes on TheHouse.com acquisition are preliminary as they are subject to measurement period adjustments for up to one year from the date of acquisition as new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. The provision for income tax for the entities subject to federal income tax has been included in the consolidated financial statements. The income tax is based on the amount of taxes due on their tax returns plus deferred taxes computed based on the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities, using expected tax rates. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements on a particular tax position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than a 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted as appropriate for changes in facts and circumstances, such as significant amendments to existing tax law, new regulations or interpretations by the taxing authorities, new information obtained during a tax examination, or resolution of an examination. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had no uncertain tax positions. The Company did not recognize any interest or penalties relating to income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. On October 6, 2016, the Company entered into a tax receivable agreement (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) that provides for the payment by the Company to the Continuing Equity Owners and Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. of 85% of the amount of tax benefits, if any, the Company actually realizes, or in some circumstances is deemed to realize, as a result of (i) increases in the tax basis from the purchase of common units from Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. in exchange for Class A common stock in connection with the consummation of the IPO and the related transactions and any future redemptions that are funded by the Company and any future redemptions or exchanges of common units by Continuing Equity Owners as described above and (ii) certain other tax benefits attributable to payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement. CWGS intends to make an election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code effective for each tax year in which a redemption or exchange (including a deemed exchange) of common units for cash or stock occur. These tax benefit payments are not conditioned upon one or more of the Continuing Equity Owners or Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. maintaining a continued ownership interest in CWGS, LLC. In general, the Continuing Equity Owners’ or Crestview Partners II GP, L.P.’s rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement are assignable, including to transferees of its common units in CWGS, LLC (other than the Company as transferee pursuant to a redemption or exchange of common units in CWGS, LLC). The Company expects to benefit from the remaining 15% of the tax benefits, if any, which may be realized. As part of the IPO, 1,698,763 common units in CWGS, LLC were exchanged for Class A common stock by Crestview Partners II GP, L.P., subject to the provisions of the Tax Receivable Agreement. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, 1,001,248 and 6,526,610 common units in CWGS, LLC, respectively, were exchanged for Class A common stock subject to the provisions of the Tax Receivable Agreement. The Company recognized a liability for the Tax Receivable Agreement payments due to those parties that redeemed common units, representing 85% of the aggregate tax benefits the Company expects to realize from the tax basis increases related to the exchange, after concluding it was probable that the Tax Receivable Agreement payments would be paid based on estimates of future taxable income. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the amount of Tax Receivable Agreement payments due under the Tax Receivable Agreement was $109.9 million and $19.2 million, respectively, of which $7.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively, were included in current portion of the Tax Receivable Agreement liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
