Note 12 – Income Taxes

For the three months ended April 30, 2021 and April 30, 2020, the Company recorded a $10.3 million income tax expense and a $16.4 million income tax benefit, respectively. Historically, the Company has calculated its provision for income taxes during interim reporting periods by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year to pre-tax income or loss, excluding discrete items, for the reporting period. Due to the uncertainty related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations, the Company used a discrete effective tax rate method to calculate taxes for the three month period ended April 30, 2020. Due to the change in pre-tax income for the current fiscal year, the Company has an equitable projection for the current fiscal year, and has returned to the historical practice of using an annual effective tax rate based on full fiscal year pre-tax income.
