INCOME TAXES
NOTE 8 INCOME TAXES
We use an estimated annual effective tax rate for purposes of determining the income tax provision during interim reporting periods. In calculating our estimated annual effective tax rate, we consider forecasted annual pre-tax income and estimated permanent book versus tax differences. Adjustments to the effective tax rate and estimates could occur during the year as information and assumptions change which could include, but are not limited to, changes to the forecasted amounts, estimates of permanent book versus tax differences, and changes to tax laws and rates.
Our income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $29.0 million and $33.7 million, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of (21.8) percent and 27.5 percent, respectively. Our income tax expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $92.1 million and $96.0 million, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of (764.9) percent and 26.3 percent, respectively.
Effective tax rates differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0 percent for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to non-deductible items, state and foreign income taxes, and discrete tax adjustments. The significant difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily driven by the non-deductible goodwill impairment recognized during the current quarter and foreign losses for which no tax benefit has been recognized.
Effective tax rates differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0 percent for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to state and foreign income taxes, permanent non-deductible items, and discrete tax adjustments. The discrete tax adjustments for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024 primarily relate to equity compensation and return to provision adjustments.
As of June 30, 2025, we have recorded unrecognized tax benefits and related interest and penalties of approximately $24.5 million. We cannot predict with certainty if we will achieve ultimate resolution of any additional uncertain tax positions associated with our U.S. and international operations resulting in any additional material increases or decreases of our unrecognized tax benefits for the next twelve months.
On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law the legislation commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”). The OBBBA includes various provisions, such as 100% bonus depreciation for assets placed in service after January 19, 2025 and full expensing of domestic research and development expenditures. ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, requires the effects of the changes in tax rates and laws on deferred tax and current tax balances to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. The Company is still evaluating the impact of the OBBBA and the results of such evaluations will be reflected on our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025.
