13.  Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate was 38.5% and 42.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to 56.3% and 69.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.  The effective income tax rate for the first nine months of 2017 and 2016 was different than the Company’s statutory rate, primarily due to losses in jurisdictions where the tax benefits are not recognized.   

The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits that would reduce the Company’s effective tax rate was $0.3 million and $0.5 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

The Company and its subsidiaries file U.S. Federal, state and local, and non-U.S. income tax returns. As of September 30, 2017, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal examination by tax authorities for tax years before 2014. The Company is subject to state and local examinations for tax years of 2012 through 2016. In addition, the Company is subject to non-U.S. income tax examinations for tax years of 2012 through 2016.
