INCOME TAXES
Our effective income tax rate was 16.4% during the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to 2.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The Provision for income taxes relating to our pre-tax income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was largely offset by a valuation allowance against our net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets. At December 31, 2018, we released substantially all of our valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, after we determined that it was more likely than not that these deferred tax assets would be realized.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily was due to excess tax benefits related to the exercise of certain stock options during the quarter.
