Income Taxes

The effective tax rate decreased to 23.1% from 38.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively, primarily as a result of the significant reduction in the federal corporate income tax rate effective January 1, 2018. During third quarter 2018, the Company filed its 2017 Federal Income Tax return which resulted in an immaterial adjustment to the deferred tax liability and tax expense.  Accordingly, the Company's accounting for the federal rate reduction under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“the Act”) is now complete. The Act has significant complexity and implementation guidance from the Internal Revenue Service and clarifications of state tax law, among other things, could impact the Company's accounting for provisions of the Act other than the federal rate reduction within the measurement period as defined in the SEC's Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 ("SAB 118"). As such, any resulting potential adjustments within the measurement period remain open under SAB 118. The Company does not believe potential adjustments in future periods would materially impact its financial condition or results of operations.

There have been no material changes to the balance of unrecognized tax benefits reported at December 31, 2017.
