Income Taxes INCOME TAXES
In order to determine the Company’s quarterly provision for income taxes, the Company used an estimated annual effective tax rate that is based on expected annual income and statutory tax rates in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter during which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rate from quarter to quarter.
Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $0.9 million, or approximately (23.7)% of pre-tax loss compared to an income tax benefit of $3.0 million, or approximately 5.1% of pre-tax loss, for the three months ended June 30, 2020.  Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 is based on the Company’s estimated annualized effective tax rate for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021, adjusted for discrete items recognized during the period.  For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company’s recognized effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to disallowed executive compensation expenses, disallowed meals and entertainment expenses, carrying back net operating losses under the provisions of the CARES Act, and release of a valuation allowance.
The Company files U.S., foreign and state income tax returns in jurisdictions with various statutes of limitations.  The Company is currently under audit by the State of California for the fiscal years June 30, 2017-2018, the State of New Jersey for the fiscal years June 30, 2013-2017; the State of New York for the fiscal years June 30, 2016-2018; Germany for the fiscal years June 30, 2013-2015; and Switzerland for the fiscal years June 30, 2015-2016. Annual and interim tax provisions include amounts considered necessary to pay assessments that may result from examination of prior year tax returns; however, the amount ultimately paid upon resolution of issues may differ materially from the amount accrued.
