Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") was enacted on March 27, 2020, and includes many measures intended to assist companies during the COVID-19 pandemic, including temporary changes to income and non-income-based tax laws, some of which were enacted under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Act") in 2017. As a result of the Tax Act and the CARES Act, additional legislative and regulatory guidance has been and will likely continue to be issued, including final regulations that could impact the Company's effective tax rate in future periods. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded a $0.3 million income tax expense, reflecting a (50.0)% effective tax rate, compared to a $1.7 million income tax benefit f or the three months ended March 31, 2021, reflecting a 27.4% effective tax rate. The change in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period of the prior year, is primarily due to the increase i n non-deductible transaction related costs, repatriation of foreign earnings, Company's decrease in loss from continuing operations before in come taxes and the relative weighting of jurisdictional income and loss, which was partially offset by the deferred taxes related to stock compensation. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the income tax provision includes a net discrete tax expense of $0.4 million primarily related to repatriation of foreign earnings and changes in deferred taxes related to stock compensation, as compared to the income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2021, which includes a net discrete benefit of $0.3 million primarily related to changes for income tax returns filed, and the changes in deferred taxes related to stock compensation and repatriation of foreign earnings. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022, varies from the 21.0% U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to net discrete tax items, transaction related costs, and taxes on foreign income. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 varies from the 21.0% U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to net discrete tax items, and taxes on foreign income. Foreign earnings are generated from operations in all of the Company's three geographic segments, Americas, EMEA and APAC. As of each reporting date, the Company’s management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could impact management’s view regarding the future realization of deferred tax assets. The Company will continue to evaluate its valuation allowance requirements, including the U.S. interest expense limitation of the Tax Act. As of March 31, 2022, the Company has determined that a valuation allowance is not required for the deferred tax asset associated with U.S. interest expense. The Company may adjust its deferred tax asset valuation allowances based on possible sources of taxable income that may be available to realize a tax benefit for deferred tax assets. As facts and circumstances change, the Company may also adjust its deferred tax asset valuation allowances accordingly. Such changes in the deferred tax asset valuation allowances would be reflected in current operations through the Company’s income tax provision (benefit) and could have a material effect on the Company’s operating results for the respective period. The Company's unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties were $9.6 million as of both March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021. During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits could change in the range of $0.2 million to $1.5 million due to the expiration of relevant statutes of limitations and federal, state and foreign tax audit resolutions. In addition, as of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets includes $30.3 million and $25.6 million, respectively, of income tax receivables, classified within "Prepaids and other current assets." The Company files tax returns in multiple jurisdictions and is subject to examination by taxing authorities globally. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of an adverse outcome resulting from examinations to determine the adequacy of its income tax reserves. As of March 31, 2022, the Company believes that it is more-likely-than-not that the tax positions it has taken will be sustained upon the resolution of its audits, resulting in no material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. However, the final determination with respect to any tax audits, and any related litigation, could be materially different from the Company's estimates and/or from its historical income tax provisions and accruals and could have a material effect on operating results and/or cash flows in the periods for which that determination is made. In addition, future period earnings may be adversely impacted by litigation costs, settlements, penalties and/or interest assessments. The Company is currently under audit by the tax authorities in Germany for the years 2015 through 2018 and in the U.S. for the 2017 and 2018 federal income tax returns and various other state income tax and jurisdictional audits. The Company's separate federal and state tax returns for tax years 2017 through 2020, and 2016 through 2020, respectively, remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and various state taxing authorities. Generally, the tax years 2016 through 2020 remain subject to examination in Canada, tax years 2015 through 2020 remain subject to examination in Germany, and tax years 2011 through 2020 remain subject to examination in China. As of March 31, 2022, the Company intends to continue reinvesting foreign earnings indefinitely outside of the U.S. with certain limited exceptions and has not recorded a deferred tax liability for U.S. state income taxes, foreign withholding or other foreign income taxes that would be due if cash is repatriated to the U.S. The Company considers its foreign earnings to be permanently reinvested or may be remitted substantially free of any additional income or withholding taxes, with the exception of the Company's intent for repatriation of the foreign earnings of certain legal entities within the EMEA and APAC regions, for which such foreign earnings have been previously taxed. While the Company does not anticipate a need to repatriate funds to the U.S. to satisfy domestic liquidity needs, management reviews cash positions regularly and, to the extent it is determined that additional foreign earnings will not remain indefinitely reinvested, the Company will record a liability for the additional taxes, if applicable, including foreign withholding taxes and U.S. state income taxes. Further, the determination of the amount of the unrecognized deferred tax liability related to the undistributed earnings is not practicable. |
