| Income Taxes | INCOME TAXES Effective Tax Rate Our quarterly income tax expense is measured using an estimated annual effective income tax rate. The comparison of effective income tax rates between periods may be significantly affected by discrete items recognized during the periods, the level and mix of earnings by tax jurisdiction and permanent differences. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $3.8 million associated with income from operations before income taxes compared to a provision of $3.9 million during the same prior year period, representing effective income tax rates of 36.6% and 37.2%, respectively. The effective income tax rates vary from the federal statutory rate of 35.0% due to state taxes and other nondeductible expenses. Uncertain Tax Provisions As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, unrecognized tax benefits from uncertain tax positions were $0.4 million. |
