Income Taxes	NOTE 9. Income Taxes For the quarter ending June 30, 2018, the provision for income taxes increased to $7.5 million from $6.2 million in 2017, while the effective tax rate decreased to 25.5% in 2018 from 39.4% in 2017.

The provision for income taxes increased primarily due to higher pre-tax income in 2018, while the 2018 effective tax rate was lower primarily due to the enactment of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) on December 22, 2017, which reduced the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%.

NOTE 9. Income Taxes

For the quarter ending June 30, 2018, the provision for income taxes increased to $7.5 million from $6.2 million in 2017, while the effective tax rate decreased to 25.5% in 2018 from 39.4% in 2017. For the six months ending June 30, 2018, the provision for income taxes increased to $12.4 million from $12.3 million in 2017, while the effective tax rate decreased to 24.5% from 38.2%. The provision for income taxes increased primarily due to higher pre-tax income in 2018, while the 2018 effective tax rate was lower primarily due to the enactment of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) on December 22, 2017, which reduced the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. We expect our effective tax rate for 2018 will range from 24.5% to 25.5%.
