INCOME TAXES

A valuation allowance is recorded against all or a portion of the deferred tax assets in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Germany, and the Netherlands.

Each quarter, a full year tax rate is estimated for jurisdictions not subject to valuation allowances based upon the most recent forecast of full year anticipated results and the year-to-date tax expense is adjusted to reflect the full year anticipated tax rate. The rate is an estimate based upon projected results for the year, estimated annual permanent differences, the statutory tax rates in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates, and the non-recognition of tax benefits for entities with full valuation allowances. The overall effective tax rate was (90.5)% and (36.6)% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, which differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the mix of earnings by country and by the non-recognition of tax benefits for certain entities in a loss position for which a full valuation allowance has been recorded. Additionally, in 2016, the Company’s effective tax rate was impacted by a one-time dividend from an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary in China to its parent, a direct wholly-owned subsidiary in Switzerland, of which $0.6 million of the total income tax expense is related to the associated withholding taxes.

The tax years 2013 through 2015 remain open to examination by the U.S. federal taxing authorities. The tax years 2010 through 2015 remain open to examination by the U.S. state taxing authorities. For other major jurisdictions (Switzerland, U.K., Taiwan, France, Germany, Netherlands, China, and India), the tax years between 2008 and 2015 generally remain open to routine examination by foreign taxing authorities, depending on the jurisdiction.

At September 30, 2016, a liability of $2.2 million is recorded with respect to uncertain income tax positions, which includes related interest of $0.1 million. If recognized, essentially all of the uncertain tax positions and related interest at September 30, 2016 would be recorded as a benefit to income tax expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. It is reasonably possible that some of the uncertain tax positions pertaining to foreign operations may change within the next 12 months due to audit settlements and statute of limitations expirations. The change in uncertain tax positions for these items is estimated to be up to $1.3 million.
