INCOME TAXES
We had a provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2015, despite incurring a pre-tax loss. This was due to the effects of the valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, and the recording of a deferred tax expense related to the tax amortization of indefinite-lived intangible assets.
The Company's effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was 10.4% and (8.9)%, respectively, compared to an effective tax rate of 35.7% and 35.3% during the corresponding prior-year periods. The differences primarily relate to changes in the allowance against deferred tax assets.
