| Income Taxes The following table shows the Company's effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands): | | | | | | | | | | | | | Three Months Ended March 31, | | | 2020 | | 2019 | | (Loss) Income before provision for income taxes | $ | (2,328) | | | $ | 5,690 | | | Income tax expense | $ | (605) | | | $ | (2,194) | | | Effective tax rate | (26.0) | % | | 38.6 | % |
The difference in the Company's effective tax rate for each of the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 from the Company's statutory federal tax rate of 21% was primarily due to state taxes, non-deductible expenses and share based payment awards, offset in part by the impact of certain tax credits.
