4.   Income Taxes

 

The provision for income taxes is based on earnings reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements. A deferred income tax asset or liability is determined by applying currently enacted tax laws and rates to the expected reversal of the cumulative temporary differences between the carrying value of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. Deferred income tax expense or benefit is measured by the change in the deferred income tax asset or liability during the period. For the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 4.1% and 41.4%, respectively, and for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the rate was 233.3% and 26.8%, respectively.

 

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Job Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted into law, which among other provisions, reduced the statutory federal income tax rate from 35% to 21%.  The Company has estimated and included the provisional amount for the potential impact of the re-measurement of the Company’s net U.S. deferred tax liabilities and the transition tax on the Company’s accumulated unremitted foreign earnings in the Company’s financial statements for the six months ended December 31, 2017. The analysis of the foreign earnings that is required to be completed for the transition tax is an estimate at this time and an updated transition tax will be reflected in subsequent periods once the final amounts are determined.  The provisional amount for the impact of the rate change on the net deferred tax liabilities was based on an estimate which the Company will continue to refine as the year progresses.

 

The change in the effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017 is predominantly due to the impact of the Tax Act as well as the adoption of ASU 2016-09 related to stock compensation. The Company will continue to analyze the Tax Act to determine the full effects of the new law.
