Note 8:

Income Taxes

For the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 24.8 percent and (30.8) percent, respectively. For the nine months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 34.2 percent and 39.9 percent, respectively.

The most significant factors impacting changes in the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014, as compared with the prior-year periods, were increases in the valuation allowance relating to certain foreign jurisdictions for which no income tax benefit is recognized, the changing mix of foreign and domestic earnings, and a $2.5 million benefit in fiscal 2014 from a foreign tax law change. At December 31, 2014, the Company continued to record a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions ($44.2 million) and a valuation allowance against certain U.S. deferred tax assets ($15.4 million), as it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized based on historical financial results. The Company will continue to provide a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets in each of the applicable jurisdictions until the need for a valuation allowance is eliminated. The need for a valuation allowance is eliminated when the Company determines it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will be realized.

Accounting policies for interim reporting require the Company to adjust its effective tax rate each quarter to be consistent with the estimated annual effective tax rate. Under this methodology, the Company applies its estimated annual income tax rate to its year-to-date ordinary earnings to derive its income tax provision each quarter. The tax impacts of certain significant, unusual or infrequently occurring items are recorded in the period in which they occur. The impact of the Company’s operations in certain foreign locations are excluded from the overall effective tax rate methodology and recorded discretely based upon year-to-date results because the Company anticipates net operating losses for the full fiscal year in these jurisdictions.

The Company does not anticipate a significant change in unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months.
