Income Taxes

7.   Income Taxes. Our provision for income taxes for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was a tax expense (benefit) of approximately $(3.2) million and $2.1 million, respectively, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 14.5% and 23.8%, respectively. Our provision for income taxes for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was a tax expense (benefit) of approximately $(2.1) million and $2.8 million, respectively, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 8.6% and 17.6%, respectively. The income tax benefit and corresponding decrease in the effective tax rate for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020, when compared to the prior-year periods, was primarily due to a pre-tax loss during the 2020 periods, as well as a change in the jurisdictional mix of earnings. Our effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the impact of global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) inclusions, state income taxes, foreign taxes, other non-deductible permanent items and discrete items (such as share-based compensation and certain legal settlements).
