Income Taxes
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded a tax provision of $10.9 million and $25.6 million, respectively, which reflects income tax expense related to the period’s pre-tax earnings. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was 41.2% and 39.9%, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded a tax provision of $8.6 million and $10.2 million, respectively, which reflects income tax expense related to the period’s pre-tax earnings, as well as a benefit of $9.3 million from the reversal of our state deferred tax asset valuation allowance for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was 38.7% and 20.4%, respectively, which was not meaningful due to the effects of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance and federal and state tax net operating losses (“NOLs”), and there was no correlation between the effective tax rate and the amount of pre-tax income for the period.
At September 30, 2015, the Company had federal NOL carryforwards of approximately $29.5 million and federal credit carryforwards of $8.6 million. Our federal NOL carryforwards may be carried forward from one to 17 years to offset future taxable income with the federal carryforward benefits beginning to expire in 2028. The Company had $9.5 million of state NOL carryforwards at September 30, 2015. Our state NOLs may be carried forward from one to 17 years, depending on the tax jurisdiction, with $3.4 million expiring between 2022 and 2027 and $6.1 million expiring between 2028 and 2032, absent sufficient state taxable income.
