Income Taxes
INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense recorded through March 31, 2019 utilized a projected annualized 25.0% rate applied to year-to-date income. During the first quarter of 2019, the Company recorded discrete tax items for the conversion of employee stock awards and recorded gains on warrant revaluations which were not subject to tax, resulting in an effective tax rate of 17.9%. The final effective tax rate applied to 2019 will depend on the actual amount of pre-tax book results by the Company for the full year, the additional conversions of employee stock awards, issuance of stock warrants and other items.
The Company has operating loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Management expects to utilize the loss carryforwards to offset federal income tax liabilities in the future. Due to the Company's deferred tax assets, including its loss carryforwards, management does not expect to pay federal income taxes until 2024 or later. The Company may, however, be required to pay some federal tax due to loss carryforward usage limitations and certain state and local income taxes before then.
