Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes Income TaxesOn December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (the "Appropriations Act") was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Appropriations Act, among other things temporarily extends through December 31, 2025, certain expiring tax provisions. Additionally, the Appropriations Act enacts new provisions and extends certain provisions originated within the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"), enacted on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act included provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferral of certain payment requirements for the employer portion of Social Security taxes, net operating loss carryback periods and temporarily increasing the amount of net operating losses that corporations can use to offset income, alternative minimum tax ("AMT") credit refunds, modifications to the net
interest deduction limitations, and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The Appropriations Act and CARES Act did not materially affect the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2021 income tax provision, deferred tax assets and liabilities, or related taxes payable. The Company will continue to assess the implications of these and any new relief provisions on its consolidated condensed financial statements but does not expect the impact to be material.

For each interim reporting period, the Company makes an estimate of the effective tax rate it expects to be applicable for the full fiscal year for its operations. This estimated effective rate is used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis. The Company’s effective tax rate through the first three months of fiscal 2021 was (43)%, compared with 7% for the same period of fiscal 2020. The decrease in the effective rate was primarily attributable to a discrete tax benefit recorded during the first three months of fiscal 2021 to adjust deferred taxes recorded in Italy, applied against year-to-date income. Additionally, the effective tax rate decreased as a result of changes in jurisdictional mix of income in fiscal 2021 compared to the same period of fiscal 2020. The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate due primarily to the valuation allowance against the Company’s U.S. deferred tax assets and income in foreign jurisdictions that are taxed at different rates than the U.S. statutory tax rate. Recent positive evidence related to the potential or partial release of the Company's valuation allowance includes profitable U.S. results, however, there continues to be uncertainty as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. As such, the Company has maintained a full valuation allowance on its U.S. net deferred tax assets in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. It is reasonably possible that sufficient positive evidence required to release all, or a portion of the valuation allowance in the U.S. will exist within the next 12 months.
The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, Ireland, Italy, and various state and local jurisdictions.
