Effective tax rate  32.4%  13.2%

 

For interim income tax reporting, we estimate our annual effective tax rate and apply this effective tax rate to our year-to-date pre-tax income. Each quarter, our estimate of the annual effective tax rate is updated, and if the estimated effective tax rate changes, a cumulative adjustment is made. Additionally, the tax effects of significant unusual or infrequently occurring items are recognized as discrete items in the interim period in which the events occur. There is a potential for volatility in the effective tax rate due to several factors, including changes in the mix of the pre-tax income and the jurisdictions to which they relate, changes in tax laws and foreign tax holidays, settlement with taxing authorities, and foreign currency fluctuations.

 

The change in the effective tax rate for three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the prior year period is primarily due to prior year valuation allowance adjustments related to our operations in Germany, as well as an increase in German statutory taxes in the current fiscal year. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 differed from the statutory federal rate of 21% primarily due to the valuation allowances previously established on the U.S. deferred taxes and varying applicable tax rates in foreign jurisdictions.

 

In July 2025, certain key elements of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that were previously temporary were made permanent, including 100% bonus depreciation, the expensing of domestic research costs, and the limitation on business interest expense deductions. Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, Income Taxes, requires the effects of enacted changes in tax laws and rates on deferred tax balances to be recognized in the period of enactment. We are currently evaluating the impact updated regulations will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2026.
