The effective tax rate on loss from continuing operations was (85.0) percent for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The expense on the loss is due primarily to the tax impacts of the the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Tax Act) on the estimated projected tax rate. More specifically, the impacts of the global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) and base erosion and anti-abuse tax (BEAT). In addition, the Company collapsed its Barbados structure to meet the debt covenant requirements from our lenders during the quarter which resulted in additional discrete tax expense which is being offset in part by the valuation allowance release relating to the Company’s nondeductible interest expense resulting in no additional cash taxes. The above items noted as well as the Company’s jurisdictional income (loss) mix and varying respective statutory rates are the primary drivers of the quarterly tax rate.

The effective tax rate on the net loss was (40.4) percent for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The expense on the loss is due primarily from impacts related to GILTI on the estimated annual tax rate.
