INCOME TAXES
The Company determines the tax provision for interim periods using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter we update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if our estimated tax rate changes, we make a cumulative adjustment.
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased to 83.6% from (140.0)% for the three months ended March 31, 2016. During the first quarter of 2017 we experienced a shortfall tax expense related to restricted stock of $0.8 million that increased the effective rate by 51% due to the adoption of ASU 2016-09. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we experienced a consolidated net loss.
