INCOME TAXES | 12. INCOME TAXES ​ The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was (15.6%) and 16.2%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily impacted by the mix of income generated among the jurisdictions in which the Company operates along with the exclusion of losses in the U.S. Virgin Islands and India where the Company cannot benefit from those losses as required by ASC 740-270-30-36(a), in addition to the following discrete items: (i) $1.1 million benefit from the reversal of unrecognized tax positions due to statute expiration, net interest expense on unrecognized tax positions and , (ii) $0.5 million benefit from the reversal of a deferred tax liability due to an intercompany debt restructure. ​ The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily impacted by the mix of income generated among the jurisdictions in which the Company operates along with the exclusion of losses in the U.S. Virgin Islands and India where the Company cannot benefit from those losses as required by ASC 740-270-30-36(a), in addition to a $0.5 million discrete benefit for the release of a capital loss valuation allowance due to a capital gain on a sale of a wireless license. ​ The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was 25.4% and 41.5%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily impacted by the mix of income generated among the jurisdictions in which the Company operates along with the exclusion of losses in the U.S. Virgin Islands and India where the Company cannot benefit from those losses as required by ASC 740-270-30-36(a), in addition to the following discrete items: (i) $0.6 million benefit from the reversal of unrecognized tax positions due to statute expiration, net interest expense on unrecognized tax positions and , (ii) $0.5 million benefit from the reversal of a deferred tax liability due to an intercompany debt restructure. ​ The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily impacted by the mix of income generated among the jurisdictions in which the Company operates along with the exclusion of losses in the U.S. Virgin Islands and India where the Company cannot benefit from those losses as required by ASC 740-270-30-36(a), in addition to the following discrete items: (i) $0.5 million interest expense on unrecognized tax benefits, (ii) $0.7 million provision for the intercompany sale of assets from the U.S. to the U.S. Virgin Islands, and (iii) $0.5 million benefit for the release of a capital loss valuation allowance due to a capital gain on a sale of a wireless license. ​ The Company’s effective tax rate is based upon estimated income before provision for income taxes for the year, composition of the income in different countries, and adjustments, if any, in the applicable quarterly periods for potential tax consequences, benefits and/or resolutions of tax contingencies. The Company’s consolidated tax rate will continue to be impacted by any transactional or one-time items in the future and the mix of income in any given year generated among the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. While the Company believes it has adequately provided for all tax positions, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could materially differ from the Company’s accrued positions as a result of uncertain and complex application of tax law and regulations. Additionally, the recognition and measurement of certain tax benefits include estimates and judgment by management. Accordingly, the Company could record additional provisions or benefits for US federal, state, and foreign tax matters in future periods as new information becomes available. ​
