Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | NOTE L – INCOME TAXES The Company’s effective tax rate was -334% and 34% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The income tax expense for this period was determined based on an estimated annual effective tax rate of 31% for the twelve months ending December 31, 2015. The effective tax rate for three months ended March 31, 2015 differs from the estimated annual 2015 effective tax rate primarily due to losses of $.9 million in certain jurisdictions where no tax benefit is recognized coupled with a low level of pre-tax loss for the period. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to losses of $.9 million in certain jurisdictions where no tax benefit is recognized coupled with lower earnings in jurisdictions with lower tax rates than the U.S. federal statutory rate where such earnings are permanently reinvested. The lower effective tax rate for the three months ending March 31, 2015 compared with the same period for 2014 was primarily due to losses of $.9 million in certain jurisdictions where no tax benefit is recognized, decreased earnings in jurisdictions with lower tax rates than the U.S. federal statutory rate where such earnings are permanently reinvested and overall lower earnings before taxes. The Company provides valuation allowances against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. No significant changes to the valuation allowance were reflected for the period ended March 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $.8 million with no significant changes during the period ended March 31, 2015. The Company may decrease its unrecognized tax benefits by $.6 million within the next nine months.
