Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate was (11.6%) and (24.4%) for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was lower when compared to the same period in the prior year due to a discrete tax benefit related to excess tax benefits from stock compensation of $274 and $93 in the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.  The largest item affecting deferred taxes is the difference between book and tax amortization of goodwill and other intangibles amortization.
