Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]	14. Income Taxes The provision for income taxes was $1.5 million for the three -month period ended March 31, 2019, based on an effective tax rate of 24.6%.  The benefit from income taxes was $1.1 million for the three -month period ended March 31, 2018, based on an effective tax benefit rate of ( 13.6% ). The net increase in the effective tax rate for the three -month period ended March 31, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018, was primarily due to the windfall tax benefit the Company realized in March 2018 due to limitations on the deductibility of executive compensation for accelerated stock vesting upon the retirement of its former Chief Executive Officer on March 9, 2018. The Company realized an immaterial shortfall for the three -month period ended March 31, 2019. The Company files income tax returns in the United States on a federal basis, in certain U.S. states, and in Italy.  The associated tax filings remain subject to examination by applicable tax authorities for a certain length of time following the tax year to which those filings relate. In connection with the preparation of the financial statements, the Company assesses whether it was more likely than not that it would be able to utilize, in future periods, the net deferred tax assets associated with its net operating loss carry-forward. The Company has concluded that the positive evidence outweighs the negative evidence and, thus, the deferred tax assets not otherwise subject to a valuation allowance are realizable on a “more likely than not” basis. As such, the Company did not record a valuation allowance as of March 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018.
