Income Taxes

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act") was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Act makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, which have affected our current results and will affect our future results. The following were significant changes in the tax code that became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018:


•	reducing the Company's U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to a blended rate of 28.06% for fiscal 2018 as stipulated by the Internal Revenue Code for companies using a June 30 fiscal year end and to 21% for fiscal years thereafter;


•	generally eliminating U.S. federal income tax on dividends from foreign subsidiaries;


•	requiring current inclusion in U.S. federal taxable income of certain earnings of controlled foreign corporations;


•	allowing full expensing of certain assets placed in service from September 27, 2017 and before January 1, 2023;


•	restricting further deductibility of executive performance compensation in excess of $1.0 million; and


•	disallowing certain entertainment expenses.

The following are significant changes in the tax code that are effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2018:


•	eliminating the deduction for domestic production activity;


•	limiting the annual deduction for business interest;


•	taxing global intangible low-tax income;


•	allowing a deduction for domestically earned foreign intangible income; and


•	establishing a new base erosion and anti-abuse tax on payments between U.S. taxpayers and foreign related parties.

The SEC staff issued SAB 118 which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Act. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the Act’s enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740. As of June 30, 2018, we have not completed our accounting for the tax effect of the Act. In accordance with SAB 118 and as discussed below, we have reflected the income tax effects of the those items where the accounting is complete; have recorded a provisional amount with regards for those items where the accounting is not complete but we have made a reasonable estimate; and have continued to account for items based on our existing accounting under ASC 740 in those areas where we have not been able to make a reasonable estimate.

Accounting Complete

Deferred Taxes Remeasurement

We remeasured our domestic deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which we expect them to reverse in the future. Section 15 of the Internal Revenue Code stipulates that our fiscal year ending June 30, 2018 will have a blended U.S. federal corporate income tax rate of 28.06%, which is based on the applicable tax rates before and after the Act and the number of days in the tax year. Therefore, domestic deferred taxes reversing prior to July 1, 2018 will be taxed based on the blended rate and reversals occurring thereafter will be taxed at the new 21% tax rate. As of June 30, 2018, we have completed the remeasurement of our domestic deferred tax assets and liabilities which resulted in an income tax benefit of $0.5 million, which is included in Provision (benefit) for federal, state and foreign income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Accounting not Complete - Provisional Amount Recorded

One-time Transition Tax on Unpatriated Earnings of Certain Foreign Subsidiaries

The Act includes a one-time transition tax based on our total post-1986 foreign earnings and profits (E&P) which we have previously deferred from U.S. income taxes. We have not completed the calculations surrounding this tax, but based on our preliminary calculations, our foreign subsidiaries have overall negative E&P. Therefore, we do not anticipate incurring tax related to this provision of the Act since any return of assets would be a return of capital, not earnings. Due to the preliminary nature of our calculations, no additional income taxes have been provided for any remaining undistributed foreign earnings not subject to the transition tax and any outside basis difference inherent in these entities as these amounts continue to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations.

Accounting not Complete - Using Existing Accounting Under ASC 740

Valuation Allowances on Foreign Tax Credit Carryforwards

We are currently assessing and have not completed our analysis of how various aspects of the Act such as deemed repatriation of foreign income, global intangible low taxes income ("GILTI") inclusions, and new categories of foreign tax credits affect our ability to utilize our existing foreign tax credit carryforwards before they expire. Currently we have stated our foreign tax credits at the amount at which we are more likely than not to realize the tax benefit before consideration of the tax law changes under the Act. Our completed analysis may result in an increased valuation allowance against our current foreign tax credit carryforwards.

Indefinite Reinvestment Assertion

Currently we do not provide for outside basis differences under the indefinite reinvestment assertion of ASC 740-30. Our complete analysis of the Act may require us to provide for additional taxes to basis differences or withholding taxes on remitted foreign earnings.

GILTI

The Act creates a new requirement that certain income earned by controlled foreign corporations must be included currently in the gross income of the U.S. shareholder. Because of the complexity of the new GILTI rules, we are continuing to evaluate this provision of the Act and the application of ASC 740. Under US GAAP, we are allowed to make an accounting policy choice of either: 1) treating taxes due on future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current-period expense when incurred or 2) factoring such amounts into the measurement of our deferred taxes. Our selection of an accounting policy will depend, in part, on analyzing our global income and the expected GILTI inclusions that, in turn, depend on our estimated future results of global operations. As such, we are not yet able to reasonably estimate the effect of the potential GILTI tax on our financial statements and have not made a policy decision regarding whether to recorded deferred tax on GILTI.

Operating loss and tax credit carryforwards

The Company has state net operating loss carryforwards, state tax credit carryforwards, federal foreign tax credit carryforwards, foreign net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credit carryforwards. The valuation allowance at June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017 reduces the recognized tax benefit of these carryforwards to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. These carryforwards will generally expire as shown below:



Operating Loss Carryforwards	Expiration Period	Amount (in thousands)
State net operating losses	June 2023 to June 2038	$	22,230
Foreign net operating losses	December 2029; June 2032 to June 2037	$	20,733



Tax Credit Carryforwards	Expiration Period	Amount (in thousands)
State tax credits	June 2018 to June 2033	$	679
Federal foreign tax credits	June 2019 to June 2025	$	1,244
Foreign tax credits	June 2035 to June 2037	$	668

Other

The Company files tax returns in multiple domestic and foreign taxing jurisdictions. With a few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to examination by taxing authorities through fiscal 2013. At June 30, 2018, the Company updated its evaluation of its open tax years in all known jurisdictions. We have recorded a $0.5 million liability as of June 30, 2018 for unrecognized tax positions and the payment of related interest and penalties. We treat the related interest and penalties as income tax expense. Due to the uncertainties related to these tax matters, we are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate as to when cash settlement with a taxing authority will occur.
