Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Tax Benefit/Expense |
Income Tax Benefit/Expense
During the first quarter of 2014 we had an income tax benefit of $8.6 million compared to $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2013. The increase in current period income tax benefit is primarily due to the reduction of pre-tax earnings in the first quarter of 2014 when compared with pre-tax earnings reported for the 2013 first quarter primarily driven by the debt extinguishment costs recorded during the 2014 first quarter.
