(8)Income Taxes



The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were 36.6% and 31.1%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the mix of taxable earnings between jurisdictions and tax law changes that impacted the prior year.  The effective tax rates for the six months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were 35.5% and 31.0%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the mix of earnings between jurisdictions with differing tax rates and tax law changes that impacted the timing of recognition of certain credits in the prior year. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that $570 of unrecognized tax benefits will be realized in fiscal year 2017.
