INCOME TAXES

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized income tax expense of $18.0 million on income of $75.2 million, an effective tax rate of 23.9%, as compared to income tax expense of $14.2 million on income of $82.9 million, an effective tax rate of 17.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The higher effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 is primarily due to less tax benefit from stock compensation deductions, deferred tax expense due to a lower blended tax rate, and a less favorable jurisdictional mix when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018.
