Income Taxes INCOME TAXES
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recorded an income tax expense of $0.2 million compared with income tax expense of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Our effective tax rate was 50.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared with 21.8% in the prior year period. The changes in our income tax expense and our effective tax rate were primarily due to the mix of jurisdictions where we earned pretax book income or incurred a pretax book loss during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in the prior year.

Our quarterly estimate of our annual effective tax rate, and our quarterly provision for income tax expense, are subject to significant variation due to numerous factors, including variability in accurately predicting our pretax and taxable income or loss and the mix of jurisdictions to which they relate, as well as the amount of pretax income or loss recognized during the quarter.
