The Company's third quarter and year-to-date 2020 income tax provisions included $2.0 million of tax expense related to deferred tax assets of the Company's foreign subsidiaries. The Company's 2020 effective tax rates were also impacted because it has not recorded an income tax benefit on foreign subsidiary losses, and, in the U.S., the Company has the ability to carry back current year losses to a tax year when the U.S. federal statutory tax rate was 35%, which is currently permitted under the U.S. Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act").
