INCOME TAXES:
 
During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recognized tax expense of $6.8 and $15.9 million, respectively, with corresponding effective tax rates of 201.6% and (386.7)%. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recognized tax expense of $0.9 and $72.8 million, respectively, with corresponding effective tax rates of (9.3)% and (142.0)%. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2015, the Company incurred a non-cash charge of $2.0 million to establish a valuation allowance against the majority of the Company’s Canadian deferred tax assets. The primary reason for this charge was the operations in one of the Company's Canadian entities experienced declining financial performance and reported cumulative pretax losses for the twelve consecutive quarters ended March 31, 2015.

The recorded tax expense and effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 were different than what would normally be expected primarily due to $4.3 and $10.9 million, respectively, of non-cash tax expense relating to tax benefits on certain indefinite-lived assets that the Company cannot recognize for reporting purposes and the valuation allowance associated with the Company’s deferred tax assets.

The recorded tax expense and effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014 were different than would be expected due to the effect of the non-cash valuation allowance established against the Company’s deferred tax assets and the tax effect of the second quarter non-cash goodwill impairment charge which was only partly deductible for income tax purposes.

The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for fiscal years 2010 through 2014 are currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). All earlier tax years are closed to examination. The Company has outstanding audit issues with the IRS for fiscal years 2010 and 2011 for which the IRS has proposed additional adjustments. The Company believes its income tax positions and deductions will be sustained and intends to vigorously defend its position on these issues and, accordingly, has appealed to the IRS Appeals Division. Final resolution of these issues is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position. For state tax audits, the statute of limitations generally runs three to four years resulting in a number of returns being open for tax audits dating back to fiscal year 2010. The Company is currently under audit in a number of states in which the statute of limitations has been extended back for fiscal years 2007 and forward.
