(a)
In 2016 and 2015, we recorded total asset impairment charges of $8.0 million ($7.1 million net of tax) and $58.5 million ($44.6 million net of tax). The charges recorded in 2016 primarily relate to a pending disposition of certain international renewable energy services operations. The charges recorded in 2015 related to goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment, including a $39.8 million goodwill impairment and a $12.1 million
impairment to customer relationships, trade names and non-compete agreement intangible assets. These charges were primarily attributable to lower levels of expected activity in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and, to a lesser extent, due to the extended low commodity price environment with respect to certain directional drilling operations in Australia. In 2015, we also recorded a $6.6 million impairment to property and equipment associated with the same international renewable energy services operations.
(b)
The effective tax rate was lower in 2016 primarily due to $20.5 million in tax benefits from decreases in reserves for uncertain tax positions, which resulted from the expiration of federal and state statute of limitations periods. The effective tax rate in 2015 was higher primarily due to a lower proportion of income before taxes from international jurisdictions. Additionally, certain asset impairments recorded in 2015 were not tax deductible, and a change in the Alberta provincial statutory income tax resulted in additional taxes of $5.0 million. In addition, the effective tax rates in 2014, 2013 and 2012 were impacted by $8.1 million, $9.9 million and $7.8 million in tax benefits primarily due to decreases in reserves for uncertain tax positions resulting from the expiration of federal and state statute of limitations periods.
(c)
In 2014, selling, general and administrative expenses included a $102.5 million charge to provision for long-term contract receivable associated with an electric power infrastructure services project and a $38.8 million expense resulting from an arbitration decision associated with a contract dispute on a directional drilling project.
(d)
In 2013, we recorded a pre-tax gain of approximately $112.7 million from the sale of all of our equity ownership interest in Howard Midstream Energy Partners, LLC.
