Income Tax Benefit/Expense

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

During the second quarter of 2017, we had income tax expense of $1.7 million compared with income tax benefit of $0.9 million during the second quarter of 2016. Despite the pre-tax loss for the second quarter of 2017, we recognized income tax expense due to the jurisdictional mix of income and loss during the quarter, along with our continued inability to recognize the benefits associated with certain losses as a result of valuation allowances.
