6. Income Taxes

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded income tax expense of $1.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The Company recorded income tax expense of $0.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively, for the same prior year periods. In computing its income tax provision, the Company estimates its effective tax rate for the full year and applies that rate to income earned though the reporting period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recognized a benefit from research and development credits (“R&D Credits”) of $0.2 million and adjustments to its foreign income tax liability for 2014 tax return filings of approximately $0.1 million. The R&D Credits relate to the Company’s recent investment in information technology and the foreign income tax liability adjustment relates to the Company’s Canadian operations. Without such benefits, the Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 would be 41.2% compared to 45.1% for the same prior year period.
