Income Taxes

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted into law, which contains several significant changes, including reducing the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, imposing a one-time repatriation tax on accumulated foreign earnings (“transition tax”) and instituting the global intangible low taxed income (“GILTI”) regime and the base erosion anti-abuse tax.

We are following the guidance in Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin 118, which provides a company with the ability to record provisional amounts based on reasonable estimates that are subject to a measurement period of up to one year. At December 31, 2017, we made a reasonable estimate of the effects on existing deferred tax balances and the one-time transition tax. In the nine months ended September 30, 2018, no changes were made to these provisional amounts. We will continue to evaluate the transition tax obligation and application of GILTI and have not yet made an election with regard to GILTI. Subsequent adjustments resulting from additional analysis may be recorded when our analysis is completed in the fourth quarter of 2018.
