| Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| INCOME TAXES | INCOME TAXES The Company recorded an income tax expense of $2.6 million and $2.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to income tax expense of $1.1 million and $1.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The income tax expense recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily due to state and foreign income tax expense offset by a change in the valuation allowance on the Company's deferred tax assets. The Company’s effective tax rate was 8.1% and (17.1)% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to an effective tax rate of 5.1% and (22.0)% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The difference between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 primarily relates to tax losses in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions for which no benefit can be taken. The Company’s effective tax rate may be subject to fluctuation during the year as new information is obtained, which may affect the assumptions used to estimate the annual effective tax rate, including factors such as the mix of forecasted pre-tax earnings in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates, valuation allowances against deferred tax assets, the recognition and de-recognition of tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions, and changes in or the interpretation of tax laws in jurisdictions where the Company conducts business. As of September 30, 2019, the Company retains a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions. The realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets depends primarily on its ability to generate taxable income in future periods. The amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable in future periods may change as management continues to reassess the underlying factors it uses in estimating future taxable income. The tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, was calculated on a jurisdictional basis. The Company estimated the foreign income tax provision using the effective income tax rate expected to be applicable for the full year. |
