Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax provision on income before income taxes resulted in an expense of 11.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to an expense of 6.7% for the 2016 period. The Company’s effective tax rate, which is based upon the expected annual effective tax rate, may fluctuate from period to period based on the relative mix of income or loss reported by jurisdiction and the varying tax rates in each jurisdiction. For interim reporting purposes, the Company has calculated its effective tax rate for the full year of 2017 by treating any excess tax benefits that arise from the accounting for stock based compensation as a discrete item. As such, this amount is not included when projecting the Company’s full year effective tax rate but rather is accounted for at the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 35% after applying the projected full year effective tax rate to actual six-month results before the discrete item. The impact of the discrete item resulted in a benefit of 1.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2017.
The Company had a net deferred tax asset of $221.1 million at June 30, 2017, compared to $221.2 million at December 31, 2016. In addition, the Company paid $3.9 million and $26.6 million of income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
