Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
INCOME TAXES | INCOME TAXES Uncertain Tax Benefits As of March 31, 2018, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $29.0 (net unrecognized tax benefits of $20.3). Of these net unrecognized tax benefits, $16.6 would impact our effective tax rate from continuing operations if recognized. We classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of our income tax provision. As of March 31, 2018, gross accrued interest totaled $4.2 (net accrued interest of $3.2). As of March 31, 2018, we had no accrual for penalties included in our unrecognized tax benefits. Based on the outcome of certain examinations or as a result of the expiration of statutes of limitations for certain jurisdictions, we believe that within the next 12 months it is reasonably possible that our previously unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $3.0 to $15.0. The previously unrecognized tax benefits relate to a variety of tax matters including deemed income inclusions, transfer pricing and various state matters. Other Tax Matters For the three months ended March 31, 2018, we recorded an income tax provision of $4.1 on $16.5 of pre-tax income from continuing operations, resulting in an effective rate of 24.8%. This compares to an income tax provision for the three months ended April 1, 2017 of $3.2 on $13.5 of pre-tax income from continuing operations, resulting in an effective rate of 23.7%. The most significant items impacting the income tax provision for the first quarter of 2018 were (i) $1.5 of tax charges related to the impact of the Act, described more fully below, and (ii) $0.8 of excess tax benefits resulting from stock-based compensation awards that vested in the quarter. The most significant items impacting the income tax provision for the first quarter of 2017 were (i) $1.0 of excess tax benefits resulting from stock-based compensation awards that vested in the quarter and (ii) $5.0 of foreign losses generated during the period for which no tax benefit was recognized, as future realization of any such tax benefit is considered unlikely. On December 22, 2017, the Act was enacted which significantly changes U.S. income tax law for businesses. As a result of the reduction in the federal corporate income tax rate and other legislative changes in the Act, we revalued our net U.S. federal deferred tax assets, resulting in a provisional charge of $11.8 in the fourth quarter of 2017. During the first quarter of 2018, we have continued to evaluate the impact of the Act and have recorded an additional charge of $1.5 to revalue certain deferred tax assets. Given the significance of the number of changes required by the Act and the historical complexity of our global tax structure, we have yet to complete our analysis of the impact of the Act on our condensed consolidated financial statements. As a result, the above net charges are based on current estimates (i.e., provisional amounts). In addition, other adjustments may be necessary to our income tax accounts to properly reflect the impact of certain provisions of the Act that have not been contemplated. For example, the impact on the repatriation of certain foreign earnings or the potential various state tax implications of the Act have not been considered in our provisional amounts. As more guidance is issued and we better understand the full impact of the Act on our tax positions, we will finalize our analysis, with any resulting adjustments reflected in our 2018 consolidated financial results. We perform reviews of our income tax positions on a continuous basis and accrue for potential uncertain positions when we determine that an uncertain position meets the criteria of the Income Taxes Topic of the Codification. Accruals for these uncertain tax positions are recorded in “Income taxes payable” and “Deferred and other income taxes” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets based on the expectation as to the timing of when the matters will be resolved. As events change and resolutions occur, these accruals are adjusted, such as in the case of audit settlements with taxing authorities. We have filed our federal income tax returns for the 2014, 2015 and 2016 tax years and those returns are subject to examination. With regard to all open tax years, we believe any contingencies are adequately provided for. State income tax returns generally are subject to examination for a period of three to five years after filing the respective tax returns. The impact on such tax returns of any federal changes remains subject to examination by various states for a period of up to one year after formal notification to the states. We have various state income tax returns in the process of examination. We believe any uncertain tax positions related to these examinations have been adequately provided for. We have various foreign income tax returns under examination. The most significant of these are in Germany for the 2010 through 2014 tax years. We believe that any uncertain tax positions related to these examinations have been adequately provided for. An unfavorable resolution of one or more of the above matters could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or cash flows in the quarter and year in which an adjustment is recorded or the tax is due or paid. As audits and examinations are still in process, the timing of the ultimate resolution and any payments that may be required for the above matters cannot be determined at this time.
