The effective income tax rate on continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was 32.3%. The year-to-date provision for income taxes includes taxes on earnings at an anticipated rate of approximately 34.4% and a year-to-date discrete tax benefit of $5.1 million, of which $3.5 million related to the benefit from the adoption of ASU 2016-09. Under this guidance all excess tax benefits (“windfalls”) and deficiencies (“shortfalls”) related to employee stock compensation will be recognized within income tax expense. Under prior guidance, windfalls were recognized in additional paid-in capital and shortfalls were only recognized as tax expense to the extent they exceeded the pool of windfall tax benefits. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 effective January 1, 2017. The adoption was on a prospective basis and therefore had no impact on prior periods. See Note 2 for further information related to the change in accounting for tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation.
The effective income tax rate on continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was 32.6% and included a year-to-date net discrete tax benefit of $1.1 million.
