Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate of 35.9% and 42.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to losses incurred by certain of the Company’s Chinese operations for which no benefit was recorded. The effective income tax rate of 28.7% and 29.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the effect of income earned by certain of the Company’s international entities operating in lower taxed jurisdictions.
As of June 30, 2016, the Company has recorded a $1,024 liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits. This amount includes $714 of unrecognized tax benefits which, if ultimately recognized, will reduce the Company’s annual effective income tax rate. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had accrued approximately $139 for the payment of interest and penalties.
