Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |||
Income Tax Benefit/Expense |
Income tax benefit was $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2013 as compared to $14.6 million expense for the first quarter of 2012 primarily due to a reduction in pre-tax earnings from $41.0 million in the 2012 first quarter to a loss of $0.9 million in the 2013 first quarter. In addition, we recorded a $1.5 million tax benefit during the 2013 first quarter for deductions related to settlement of the DOJ and SEC matter discussed in Note 10, Contingencies — Customs Agent and Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) Settlement. Additionally, we recorded a tax expense of $1.1 million during the quarter for acquisition-related transaction costs and recorded benefits of $0.7 million related to prior period returns filed during the quarter. |
