Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	16. Income Taxes Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, was $2.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively, which resulted primarily from applying the federal statutory income tax rate to income before income taxes. The Company’s effective tax rate for the current period differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due primarily to the effect of state income taxes and non-deductible executive compensation, less the foreign tax rate differential associated with the Company’s Noden DAC operations in Ireland. The uncertain tax positions did not change during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. The Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination by U.S. federal, foreign, state and local tax authorities for tax years 2000 forward. The Company is currently under audit by the California Franchise Tax Board (the “CFTB”) for the tax years 2009 through 2015 and the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) for the tax year 2016. The timing of the resolutions to these audits and the amount to be ultimately paid, if any, is uncertain. The outcome of these audits could result in the payment of tax amounts that differ from the amounts the Company has reserved for uncertain tax positions for the periods under audit resulting in incremental expense or a reversal of the Company’s reserves in a future period. At this time, the Company does not anticipate a material change in the unrecognized tax benefits related to the CFTB or IRS audits that would affect the effective tax rate or deferred tax assets over the next 12 months.
