The Company's effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 was -8.2% and -11.4%, compared to an effective tax rate of 10.4% and -8.9% during the corresponding prior-year periods. Our tax rate differs from the statutory rate of 34.0% primarily due to the effects of our valuation allowance and certain permanent items for tax purposes. During 2016, we continued to provide a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets that remain after being utilized by deferred tax liabilities. In future years, if it is determined that we meet the "more likely than not" threshold of utilizing our deferred tax assets, we may reverse some or all of our valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. Our annual effective tax rate could not be reasonably estimated at the present time.
