The increase in the effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2014, when compared to the same period in 2013, is primarily attributable to the IRS settlement in the three months ended September 30, 2013 discussed below. The IRS commenced examination of the Company’s United States federal income tax returns for 2006 through 2009 during fiscal year 2011. The IRS completed its field examination of the open tax years and issued a Revenue Agent’s Report in January 2012.

Formal closure of the case occurred in July 2013 and the Company has received a refund from the IRS of $7.7 million, including $0.6 million in interest. As a result, the Company recognized a reduction to unrecognized tax benefits and a corresponding reduction of income tax provisions of approximately $3.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2013. The IRS commenced examination of the Company’s United States federal income tax return for 2012 during fiscal year 2014.

As of September 30, 2014, the Company has $9.9 million related to uncertain tax positions, excluding related accrued interest and penalties, $9.8 million of which, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. As of September 30, 2014, the Company has $0.4 million accrued for the payment of interest and penalties. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s amount of unrecognized tax benefits may decrease within the next twelve months by up to $5.0 million.
