Income Tax Benefit/Expense
During the first quarter of 2015 we had an income tax benefit of $0.2 million compared to a benefit of $8.6 million for the first quarter of 2014. The current period income tax benefit is primarily a result of changes in the carrying value of certain deferred tax assets due to changes in tax law and taxing jurisdictions during the first quarter of 2015. The income tax benefit in the first quarter of 2014 was primarily due to a reduction of pre-tax earnings primarily driven by the debt extinguishment costs recorded during the first quarter of 2014.
