INCOME TAXES

The Company recorded income tax expense of $1.5 million and $2.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, as compared to a benefit from income taxes of $(7.2) million and $(10.5) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. The Company's effective income tax rate was 47% and 26% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The Company's 2015 income tax expense and rate differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate to pre-tax income primarily as a result of certain foreign jurisdictions that incurred a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets created by current year projected losses and foreign income taxed in the U.S. offset by net discrete benefits related to a U.S. check the box election and tax law enactments.

The Company's 2014 income tax benefit and rate differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate to pre-tax income primarily as a result of state income tax expense, unrecognized tax benefits, foreign earnings, and domestic production activities deduction.
