Selling and Administrative Expenses. Selling and administrative expenses increased $124.2 million in 2019 compared to 2018. Our selling and administrative expenses by major expense type for 2019 and 2018 were as follows (dollars in thousands): Selling and administrative expenses increased approximately 70 basis points as a percentage of net sales in 2019 compared to 2018. The increase in expenses reflects the addition of PCM to our North America and EMEA segments, effective August 30, 2019. The addition of PCM and increased variable compensation resulting from increased sales and gross profit in 2019 compared to 2018 were the primary drivers for the $90.9 million increase in personnel costs. PCM was also the primary driver for year over year increases in facilities, travel and entertainment, and marketing expenses. Depreciation and amortization expense increased approximately $8.8 million year over year, primarily due to additional amortization expense on newly acquired intangible assets.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits We are providing the following disclosures related to our unrecognized tax benefits and the effect on our effective income tax rate if recognized: In 2019, our unrecognized tax benefit increased by $33.9 million, primarily related to increases in North America. In 2018, we increased our unrecognized tax benefit by $142.1 million, also primarily related to North America. If the unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2019 were recognized, our income tax provision would decrease by $343.5 million, resulting in a substantially lower effective tax rate. Based on the potential outcome of the Company’s global tax examinations and the expiration of the statute of limitations for specific jurisdictions, it is possible that the unrecognized tax benefits could change significantly within the next 12 months. Absent resolution of significant tax controversy, the associated impact on the reserve balance is estimated to be a decrease in the range of $4.6 to $6.6 million during 2020. We recognize interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits in our income tax provision in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Interest and penalties recorded were $13.1 million, negligible and $4.0 million, respectively in 2019, 2018 and 2017. We had gross liabilities, for interest and penalties, of $56.2 million at December 31, 2019, $18.2 million at December 31, 2018 and $14.8 million at December 31, 2017. The increase in the gross liability related to interest and penalties from 2018 to 2019 was primarily due to a reclass within other non-current liabilities from unrecognized tax benefits to interest and penalties which had no impact on the overall Consolidated Balance Sheets or Consolidated Statement of Operations. The majority of the unrecognized tax benefit amount of $390.3 million relates to North America.
