Income Taxes

Note 9. Income Taxes

The Company’s year-to-date effective income tax rate at March 31, 2013 and 2012 was 24.9% and 21.9%, respectively. The variations between the Company’s effective tax rates and the U.S. statutory rate of 35.0% were primarily due to the consolidation of the Company’s foreign operations, which are subject to income taxes at lower statutory rates. A change in the mix of pretax income from these various tax jurisdictions could have a material impact on the Company’s effective tax rate. During the nine months ended March 31, 2013, the Company experienced a shift in pre-tax earnings to higher tax jurisdictions resulting in a higher effective tax rate when compared to the same period last fiscal year.

U.S. GAAP clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. As of March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, the gross unrecognized income tax benefit was $3.2 million and $2.9 million, respectively. The Company has classified the uncertain tax positions as non-current income tax liabilities, as the amounts are not expected to be paid within one year. If recognized, substantially all of the gross unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2013 would impact the effective tax rate. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the income tax provision on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The amount of accrued interest and penalties included in the $3.2 million and $2.9 million of gross unrecognized income tax benefit at March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively, was immaterial. Fiscal years 2010 to 2012 remain open to examination by the United States Internal Revenue Service, fiscal years 2008 to 2012 remain open to examination by certain state jurisdictions, and fiscal years 2005 to 2012 remain open to examination by certain foreign taxing jurisdictions.
