13.  Income Taxes

For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $0.7 million and $3.9 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $2.6 million and $7.2 million, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, net discrete tax benefits of $2.5 million were recorded primarily driven by the implementation of certain U.S. tax planning strategies as a result of the enactment of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”).  The year over year decrease in the Company’s provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily relates to the net discrete tax benefit recorded.  

The CARES Act was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act allowed the Company to implement certain U.S. tax planning strategies which resulted in the Company filing an amended 2018 tax return during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and recognized a net tax benefit of $3.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

The Company will continue to evaluate its valuation allowance requirements on an ongoing basis considering changing facts and circumstances and may adjust its deferred tax asset valuation allowances accordingly. It is reasonably possible that the Company will either add to or reverse a portion of its existing deferred tax asset valuation allowances in the future. Such changes will be reflected in the Company’s income tax provision and could have a material effect on financial results.

The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, were $22.6 million and $11.5 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The increase primarily relates to $10.9 million from the uncertainty of a portion of the U.S. federal tax planning strategies implemented as a result of the CARES Act. It is reasonably possible that the Company will reverse a portion of its unrecognized tax benefits in the future. Such changes will be reflected in the Company’s income tax provision and could have a material effect on financial results.
