INCOME TAXES	3 Months Ended
Mar. 31, 2018
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2018 was negative 8.7 percent as compared to 1.3 percent for the three month period ended March 31, 2017. The effective tax rate is lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 21 percent primarily due to the recognition of the foreign-derived intangible income (FDII) provisions in the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Act) and certain discrete events. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared with the same period in 2017, was primarily affected by the Tax Act, which reduced the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent effective January 1, 2018. The Company also reflected an estimated tax benefit of $3.1 million associated with the FDII provisions of the Tax Act that were effective for the first time during 2018. In addition, during the three month period ended March 31, 2018, the Company released a valuation allowance of $5.4 million related to state NOLs and incentives as it is no longer in a three-year cumulative loss position for certain state income tax purposes. The Company’s accounting for certain aspects of the Tax Act remains provisional. As noted at year-end 2017, the Company was able to reasonably estimate certain effects and, therefore, recorded provisional adjustments associated with the deemed repatriation transition tax and the remeasurement of deferred taxes. The Company has not made any additional measurement-period adjustments related to these items during the quarter as the analysis requires significant data from foreign subsidiaries that is not yet final due to future statutory deadlines as well as pending guidance from state and local tax authorities in the U.S. However, the Company is continuing to gather additional information to complete our accounting for these items. The accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act will be completed in 2018.
