INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense consists of the following (in thousands):

Income tax expense	$	581	$	—	$	715	$	—

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded income tax expense of $0.7 million, which comprises our computed income tax expense of $1.7 million reduced by $1.0 million of excess benefits associated with equity compensation. The income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 primarily relates to state taxes in jurisdictions outside of California, for which we do not have net operating loss carry-forwards due to a limited operating history.
