Income Taxes

The Company’s tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual effective rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, in each period.
Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $3.9 million, representing an effective income tax rate of 25.4%, compared to income tax expense of $5.8 million, or 36.3%, in the three months ended March 31, 2018.  The rate in the 2018 period was negatively impacted by discrete items totaling $0.9 million of expense, primarily for one-time charges related to enactment of the TCJA.
