(13) Income Taxes

The Company is subject to income tax in the United States as well as other tax jurisdictions in which it conducts business. Earnings from non-U.S. activities are subject to local country income tax. The Company does not provide for U.S. deferred income taxes on the undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries as such earnings are reinvested indefinitely.

The Company’s tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items arising in that quarter. In each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated annual tax rate changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment in that quarter. The Company’s quarterly tax provision, and its quarterly estimate of its annual effective tax rate, are subject to significant volatility due to several factors, including the Company’s ability to accurately predict its pre-tax income and loss in multiple jurisdictions.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded a benefit from income taxes of $1.5 million and a provision for income taxes of $0.1 million, respectively, resulting in an effective tax rate of 7.26% and (1.16)%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded a benefit from income taxes of $2.2 million and a provision for income taxes of $0.4 million, respectively, resulting in an effective tax rate of 4.71% and (1.68)%, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, there were deferred tax liabilities recognized in connection with the preliminary purchase price accounting for the Company’s completed acquisitions. Certain of such deferred tax liabilities will be a source of future taxable income to realize a portion of Company’s deferred tax assets, which resulted in a discrete tax benefit of approximately $1.0 million related to US acquired entities and a discrete tax benefit of approximately $0.8 million related to non-US acquisitions being recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Due to the enactment of California law during the second quarter of 2020 which suspends the utilization of net operating losses, a discrete expense of $0.5 million was recognized in the second quarter of 2020.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had gross tax-effected unrecognized tax provision of $0.8 million, of which $0.8 million if recognized, would favorably impact the effective tax rate. The Company’s existing tax positions will continue to generate an increase in unrecognized tax benefits in subsequent periods. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties related to unrecognized

tax benefits as income tax expense. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the amounts recorded related to the accrual of interest and penalties were immaterial in each period.  

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the United States passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act in March 2020. The CARES Act includes various income and payroll tax measures. The income tax measures are not expected to materially impact our financial statements.
