Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
INCOME TAXES | INCOME TAXES The Company records a tax provision or benefit on an interim basis using an estimated annual effective tax rate. This rate is applied to the current period ordinary income or loss to determine the income tax provision or benefit allocated to the interim period. Losses from jurisdictions for which no benefit can be recognized and the income tax effects of unusual or infrequent items are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate and are recognized in the impacted interim period. The estimated annual effective tax rate may be significantly impacted by projected earnings mix by tax jurisdiction. Adjustments to the estimated annual effective income tax rate are recognized in the period when such estimates are revised. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was 51.0% and 69.9% compared to 47.8% and 80.3% for the same periods in 2016. The variations in the effective income tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to more customary relationships between pre-tax income and the provision for income taxes were primarily due to the Company not recognizing income tax benefits from current operating losses related to certain Canadian entities and in the second quarter of 2017 the tax expense associated with the gain on the sale of the Transformer Services business. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had recorded $1.8 million and $1.7 million, respectively, of liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits and $0.4 million and $0.3 million of interest, respectively. Due to expiring statute of limitation periods, the Company believes that total unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by $0.4 million within the next 12 months.
