INCOME TAXES [ABSTRACT] |
INCOME TAXES | (8)INCOME TAXES The United States recently enacted comprehensive tax reform legislation known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "2017 Tax Act") that, among other things, reduces the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% and implements a territorial tax system, but imposes an alternative “base erosion and anti-abuse tax” (“BEAT”), and an incremental tax on global intangible low taxed foreign income (“GILTI”) effective January 1, 2018. The Company’s selection of an accounting policy with respect to both the new GILTI and BEAT rules is to compute the related taxes in the period the entity becomes subject to GILTI. A reasonable estimate of the effects of these provisions has been included in the first and second quarter financial statements. The ultimate impact of the 2017 Tax Act may materially differ from the provisional amounts recorded, due to, among other things, additional analysis, changes in interpretations and assumptions we have made, additional regulatory guidance that may be issued, and actions we may take as a result of the Tax Act. In addition, foreign and state governments may enact tax laws in response to the Tax Act that could result in further changes to global taxation and materially affect our financial position and results of operations. We expect to complete our analysis of the impacts of the 2017 Tax Act within the measurement period in accordance with SAB 118. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the accounting literature for income taxes, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences of transactions that have been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Quarterly, the Company assesses the likelihood that its net deferred tax assets will be recovered. Based on the weight of all available evidence, both positive and negative, the Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when it is more-likely-than-not that a future tax benefit will not be realized. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had $17.5 million of gross deferred tax assets (after a $9.9 million valuation allowance) and net deferred tax assets (after deferred tax liabilities) of $6.0 million related to the U.S. and international tax jurisdictions whose recoverability is dependent upon future profitability. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was 9.4% and 18.4%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was 9.2% and 16.3%, respectively. The Company’s U.S. income tax returns filed for the tax years ending December 31, 2014 to present, remain open tax years. The Company has been notified of the intent to audit, or is currently under audit of, income taxes for Canada for tax years 2009 and 2010, the Philippines for tax year 2015, Ireland for tax year 2016 and the state of Minnesota in the United States for tax years 2014 through 2016. Although the outcome of examinations by taxing authorities are always uncertain, it is the opinion of management that the resolution of these audits will not have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company successfully closed their audit in the second quarter of 2017 in Hong Kong for the tax year 2014 with no material changes. The Company also recorded a benefit in the amount of $0.8 million in the financial statements during the fourth quarter of 2017 related to the favorable resolution of tax audits. Finally, during the second quarter of 2018, the Company recorded a benefit of $1.0 million related to the release of an uncertain tax position due to the closing of a statute of limitations. The Company has been granted “Tax Holidays” as an incentive to attract foreign investment by the government of the Philippines. Generally, a Tax Holiday is an agreement between the Company and a foreign government under which the Company receives certain tax benefits in that country, such as exemption from taxation on profits derived from export-related activities. In the Philippines, the Company has been granted multiple agreements with an initial period of four years and additional periods for varying years, expiring at various times between 2011 and 2020. The aggregate effect on income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was approximately $2.2 million and $2.9 million, respectively, which had a favorable impact on diluted net income per share of $0.05 and $0.06, respectively. The aggregate effect on income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was approximately $4.0 million and $6.0 million, respectively, which had a favorable impact on diluted net income per share of $0.09 and $0.13, respectively.
