6. INCOME TAXES

The Company is a multi-national company subject to taxation in the United States and various other jurisdictions. During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $0.4 million and an income tax provision of $0.4 million, respectively. The income tax benefit recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2017 was due to the implementation of a revised international corporate structure aligned with the Company’s international operations. The income tax provision recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily the result of U.S. income generated under research and management services arrangements between the Company’s U.S. and Singapore entities.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $0.9 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The increase in the income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was a result of the Company’s establishment of a valuation allowance against the Company’s U.S. deferred tax assets.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded no income tax benefits for the net operating losses incurred in Japan, Singapore, Ireland or the United Kingdom, due to its uncertainty of realizing a benefit from those items.

The Company’s reserves related to taxes and its accounting for uncertain tax positions are based on a determination of whether and how much of a tax benefit taken by the Company in its tax filings or positions is more-likely-than-not to be realized following resolution of any potential contingencies present related to the tax benefit.
