Income Taxes

The Company's tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items.

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded income tax expense of $1,731 on pre-tax losses of $57,189, for an effective tax rate of (3.0)%. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded income tax benefit of $6,097 on pre-tax loss of $78,395, for an effective tax rate of 7.8%.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , the Company recorded income tax expense of $906 on pre-tax losses of $78,720, for an effective tax rate of (1.2)%. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded income tax benefit of $6,148 on pre-tax loss of $94,444, for an effective tax rate of 6.5%.

The Company's U.S. statutory rate is 35%. The most significant factors impacting the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were losses in jurisdictions that the Company is not able to benefit due to uncertainty as to the realization of those losses, and the tax effects of goodwill impairment charges in 2014.
