INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXES

The Company recorded income tax expense of $2.0 million and income tax benefit of $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded income tax expense of $2.0 million and income tax benefit of $1.3 million, respectively. The Company's effective income tax rate was (74)% and 33% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and (7)% and 19% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The Company’s 2020 and 2019 income tax expense and rates differed 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 U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions that incurred a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets created by current year projected losses and partially offset by a reduction of the liability for unrecognized tax positions. In addition, there were non-deductible royalty expenses and statutorily required income adjustments made in certain foreign jurisdictions that negatively impacted the tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

The Company continues to monitor the realization of its deferred tax assets and assesses the need for a valuation allowance. The Company analyzes available positive and negative evidence to determine if a valuation allowance is needed based on the weight of the evidence. This objectively verifiable evidence primarily includes the past three years' profit and loss positions. This process requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that are uncertain in nature. The Company has established valuation allowances with respect to deferred tax assets in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions and continues to monitor and assess potential valuation allowances in all its jurisdictions.

The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted on December 22, 2017 and created a new requirement that certain income (i.e., global intangible low taxed income, hereinafter referred to as GILTI) earned by foreign subsidiaries must be included currently in the gross income of the U.S. shareholder. For 2020 and 2019, the Company has estimated an amount of GILTI income that is to be included in the calculation of 2020 and 2019 income tax expense. This GILTI income inclusion; however, is fully offset by a change in the valuation allowance.

On March 27, 2020, the U.S. government passed the CARES Act (the "CARES Act"), which provides tax relief to assist companies dealing with the effects of COVID-19. The Company does not expect the impact of the CARES Act to be material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations, except for the deferral of Social Security payroll taxes, which will benefit the Company's operating cash flows through the end of calendar year 2020.
