INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXES
The Company recorded an income tax expense of $6.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, resulting in an effective tax rate of 16.60%, compared to an income tax expense of $7.7 million, or an effective tax rate of 17.96%, for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The Company’s effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily because of the effect of investment tax credits during fiscal year 2025. The Company's effective tax rate in the future will depend in part on actual investment tax credits generated from qualified renewable energy property.
