INCOME TAXES
The Company’s income tax provision consists of federal, state and foreign income taxes. The tax provisions for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were based on the estimated effective tax rates applicable for the full years ending December 31, 2019 and 2018 and include items specifically related to the interim periods. The Company’s effective tax rate was 26.6% and 27.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The decrease in the Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was due to the Tax Act legislation, state income tax and income tax credits offset by the vesting of equity awards when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. The Company’s geographic mix of pretax income and the varying effective tax rates in the countries and states in which the Company operates also impacts its effective tax rate.
As of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $0.9 million, respectively. These unrecognized tax benefit amounts would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. As of March 31, 2019, the Company is subject to U.S. Federal Income Tax examination for the tax years 2015 through 2018, and to non-U.S. income tax examination for the tax years 2011 through 2018. In addition, the Company is subject to state and local income tax examinations for the tax years 2014 through 2018.
