Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income taxes | 13. Income taxes The Company recognized a $1.2 million and $4.4 million provision for income tax which reflects an effective tax rate of (153.3)% and 42.4% on pre-tax income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Excluding the impact of various discrete charges, the effective tax rate on continuing operations was (68.5)% and 42.4% for the first three months of 2014 and 2013, respectively. The principal factors affecting the Company’s March 31, 2014 effective tax rate was the Company’s mix of earnings among various tax jurisdictions, state taxes, current period losses in certain jurisdictions for which the Company does not currently provide a tax benefit and variations in the customary relationship between income tax expense and pretax earnings resulting from extraordinary expenses. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefit was $0.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively. The Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company had approximately $0.5 million and $0.5 million accrued for payment of interest and penalties as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The entire amount of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest, would favorably impact the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. As of March 31, 2014, the Company does not expect the amount of unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly over the next twelve months.
