Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax expense of $3.7 million, a 26.6% effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The effective tax rate is higher than the U.S. statutory rate due primarily to state taxes, income in higher tax jurisdictions and an inclusion for global intangible low taxed income. Income tax expense of $0.4 million, a 10.8% effective tax rate was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The lower rate in the previous year is due mainly to the finalization of the Company's calculation for previously untaxed foreign earnings and profits as a result of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Cash paid for income taxes was $0.5 million and $1.1 million in the first nine months of 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. Federal income tax, as well as income tax of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. As of September 30, 2019, the Company is subject to U.S. Federal income tax examinations for the years 2016 through 2018 and income tax examinations from various other jurisdictions for the years 2012 through 2018.

Earnings from the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are considered to be indefinitely reinvested. A distribution of these non-U.S. earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise may subject the Company to foreign withholding taxes and U.S. federal and state taxes.
