Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company’s income tax provision on income before income taxes resulted in an expense of 9.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to an expense of 11.7% for the 2017 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 2018 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 21% after applying the projected full year effective tax rate to actual results before the discrete item. The impact of the discrete item resulted in a benefit of 0.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2018. On December 22, 2017, Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) was issued to address the application of GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared or analyzed in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“Tax Cuts Act”). Pursuant to the guidance within SAB 118, the Company’s remeasurement of its deferred taxes at December 31, 2017 included certain provisional effects associated with enactment of the Tax Cuts Act for which measurement could be reasonably estimated. Provisional amounts may be adjusted in 2018 during the measurement period in accordance with SAB 118 when additional information is obtained. Additional information that may affect the provisional amounts would include, completion of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries’ 2017 tax return filings, and potential future guidance from the IRS with respect to the transitional adjustment pertaining to loss reserve discounting as well as the utilization of alternative minimum tax credits. The Company’s income tax provision six months ended June 30, 2018 does not include any adjustments to the provisional effects recorded at December 31, 2017. The Company had a net deferred tax asset of $9.7 million at June 30, 2018, compared to $39.6 million at December 31, 2017. In addition, the Company recovered $46.5 million and paid $3.9 million of income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
