INCOME TAXES
The Company’s effective income tax rates were 41.9% and 37.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and 41.9% and 38.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In connection with the acquisition of Hauser, the transfer of the AW139 helicopter was treated as a sale for U.S. income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company recognized a nonrecurring income tax expense of $1.0 million, which has been recorded as a deferred tax liability as the Company plans to qualify the transfer for like-kind exchange treatment under the IRC. The additional expense increased the Company’s effective income tax rate by 5.0% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.
