Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure |
Commitments and Contingencies | Note 9: Commitments and Contingencies Lease Commitments - Minimum annual rentals, principally for noncancelable real estate and equipment leases with terms in excess of one year, in effect at December 31, 2016, are summarized in the following table:
(in thousands) |  |  |
2017 |  | $ | 10,267 |
2018 |  |  | 10,280 |
2019 |  |  | 7,797 |

Thereafter |  |  | 4,195 |
Total rental commitments |  | $ | 40,613 |
Total rental expense, including short-term rentals, charged to operations was $15,723,000 in 2016, $20,658,000 in 2015, and $22,968,000 in 2014. Income Taxes - The amount of income taxes the Company pays is subject to ongoing audits by federal and state tax authorities, which often result in proposed assessments. Sales and Use Taxes - The Company has ongoing sales and use tax audits in various jurisdictions and may be subjected to varying interpretations of statute that could result in unfavorable outcomes. Any probable and estimable assessment costs are included in accrued state, local and other taxes. Litigation - RPC is a party to various routine legal proceedings primarily involving commercial claims, workers’ compensation claims and claims for personal injury. RPC insures against these risks to the extent deemed prudent by its management, but no assurance can be given that the nature and amount of such insurance will, in every case, fully indemnify RPC against liabilities arising out of pending and future legal proceedings related to its business activities. While the outcome of these lawsuits, legal proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management, after consultation with legal counsel, believes that it is not reasonably possible that the outcome of all such proceedings, even if determined adversely, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or financial condition.
