On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) was enacted and led to significant changes to U.S. tax law. Also on December 22, 2017, the SEC staff issued SAB 118, allowing companies to record the effects of the TCJA on a provisional basis during a measurement period not to extend beyond one year of the enactment date. SAB 118 was codified into ASC 740 by ASU 2018-05.

 

The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $19.1 million related to implementing applicable provisions of the TCJA during the year ended December 31, 2017. In accordance with SAB 118, the Company considered this adjustment to be a provisional amount based on the Company’s best estimates at December 31, 2017. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, there was no further information or change in estimates related to the provisional amount recognized during the year ended December 31, 2017. However, updated guidance, interpretations or assumptions could lead the Company to make further adjustments to income tax benefit (provision) in the future. The Company expects its accounting for the tax effects of the TCJA to be completed in 2018.

 

The Company has evaluated the positive and negative evidence bearing upon the realizability of its net deferred tax assets and considered its history of losses, ultimately concluding that it is “more likely than not” that the Company will not recognize the benefits of federal, state and foreign deferred tax assets and, as such, has maintained a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

 

A net deferred tax liability of $3.0 million and $3.8 million existed at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, related to the temporary differences associated with the IPR&D intangible assets acquired in previous business combinations and not deductible for tax purposes. During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, a $0.8 million non-cash income tax benefit was recorded related to impaired Glemba IPR&D assets
