10.    Income Taxes

The estimated annual effective income tax rate for the current quarter and the prior year quarter was approximately 0% and 26%, respectively, resulting in an income tax (benefit) provision of $0 and $(1.54) million, respectively. The estimated annual effective income tax rate for the current nine months and the prior year nine months was approximately 0% and 62%, respectively, resulting in an income tax (benefit) provision of $0 and $1.64 million, respectively.

For the current quarter, the federal statutory rate differed from the effective tax rate due to the recording of a valuation allowance against the benefit that would have otherwise been recognized, as it was considered not more likely than not that the net operating losses generated during the period will be utilized in future periods. For the prior year quarter, the federal statutory rate differed from the effective tax rate primarily due to recurring permanent differences and state taxes, which increased the effective tax rate by approximately 5%.

For the current nine months, the federal statutory rate differed from the effective tax rate due to the recording of a valuation allowance against the benefit that would have otherwise been recognized, as it was considered not more likely than not that the net operating losses generated during the period will be utilized in future periods. For the prior year nine months, the federal statutory rate differed from the effective tax rate primarily due to recurring permanent differences, state taxes, and the discrete treatment of stock compensation shortfall, which increased the effective tax rate by approximately 41%.
