INCOME TAXES
The Company recognized income tax expense of $6.1 million and $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase in tax expense in the current-year quarter is largely due to higher pre-tax income levels. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was 34.7%, compared to 33.8% in the prior-year quarter.
For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized income tax expense of $9.9 million and $10.5 million, respectively. The decrease in tax expense in the first half of 2017 is largely due to lower pre-tax income levels. The effective tax rate was 34.6% and 34.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
