Income Taxes
The Company maintains income tax valuation allowances on its U.S. Federal and state deferred tax assets due to a three year cumulative loss condition. Results in both the first quarter 2017 and 2016 include impacts from income taxes which differ from a standard 35% tax rate, primarily related to income tax valuation allowance changes. First quarter 2017 results included a provision for income taxes of $2.0 million, or 8.7% of income before income taxes, which includes $1.3 million of discrete tax benefits recognized in the quarter. The first quarter 2017 projected annual effective tax rate was 14.1% excluding these discrete benefits, primarily relating to foreign operations. The first quarter 2016 benefit for income taxes was $34.2 million, or 25.9% of the loss before income taxes, which includes $0.8 million of discrete tax benefits.
