(12)  Income Taxes



For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded provisions of $3,723 and $6,831, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 11.1% and 14.1%, respectively. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded a benefit of $2,214 and a provision of $665, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 9.4% and 1.5%, respectively.



The Company has not provided for any taxes on the unremitted earnings of its foreign subsidiaries, as the Company intends to permanently reinvest all such earnings outside of the U.S. We believe a calculation of the deferred tax liability associated with these undistributed earnings is impracticable.



Tax years 2003 through 2015 remain subject to examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, with most of the years open to examination due to the generation and utilization of various tax credits. The Company files income tax returns (which are open to examination beginning in the year shown in parentheses) in Australia (2012), Belgium (2013), Brazil (2011), China (2015), France (2014), Germany (2013), India (2013), Israel (2012), Italy (2011), Japan (2012), Korea (2012), Mexico (2011), Netherlands (2011), Switzerland (2011), the United Kingdom (2015) and Uruguay (2011).
