INCOME TAXES

The Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual income and statutory tax rates in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates, to determine its quarterly provision for income taxes. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur and can be a source of variability on the effective tax rates from quarter to quarter. The Company’s effective tax rate may change from period-to-period based on recurring and non-recurring factors including the geographical mix of earnings, enacted tax legislation, state and local income taxes and tax audit settlements.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation pursuant to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), which significantly revised the ongoing U.S. corporate income tax law by lowering the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, implementing a territorial tax system, imposing a one-time tax on foreign unremitted earnings and setting limitations on deductibility of certain costs (e.g., interest expense and executive compensation), among other things.

Due to the complexities involved in accounting for the Tax Act, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 118 requires that the Company include in its financial statements a reasonable estimate of the impact of the Tax Act on earnings to the extent such reasonable estimate has been determined. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had not completed its accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act; however, the Company made a reasonable estimate of the effects on the existing deferred balances as well as the computation of the one-time transition tax. The Company did not record an adjustment to its provisional estimate in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019.

The final impact on the Company from the Tax Act’s transition tax legislation may differ from the aforementioned reasonable estimate due to the complexity of calculating and supporting with primary evidence such U.S. tax attributes as accumulated foreign earnings and profits, foreign tax paid and other tax components involved in foreign tax credit calculations for prior years back to 1986. Such differences could be material, due to, among other things, changes in interpretations of the Tax Act, future legislative action to address questions that arise because of the Tax Act, changes in accounting standards for income taxes or related interpretations in response to the Tax Act, or any updates or changes to estimates the Company has utilized to calculate the transition tax's reasonable estimate.

Pursuant to SAB 118, the Company is allowed a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the Tax Act to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts. The Company will continue to calculate the impact of the Tax Act and will record any resulting tax adjustments during fiscal 2019. Additionally, the Company will elect to pay the transition tax in installments over a period of eight years, pursuant to the guidance of the new Internal Revenue Code Section 965.

The Tax Act also includes a provision to tax global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) of foreign subsidiaries. The FASB Staff Q&A Topic No. 5, Accounting for Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income, states that an entity can make an accounting policy election either to recognize deferred taxes for temporary differences that are expected to reverse as GILTI in future years or provide for the tax expense related to GILTI resulting from those items in the year the tax is incurred. We have elected to recognize the resulting tax on GILTI as a period expense in the period the tax is incurred. We have estimated the effect in our estimated annual effective rate based on current tax guidance. The actual tax expense we record for GILTI may differ from this estimate.

The effective income tax benefit rate from continuing operations was 29.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to an effective income tax rate from continuing operations of 28.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The effective income tax benefit rate from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was unfavorably impacted by the provisions in the Tax Act including GILTI and limitations on the deductibility of executive compensation. The effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was favorably impacted by the geographical mix of earnings. The income tax benefit from discontinued operations was $5,168 for the three months ended September 30, 2018, while the income tax expense from discontinued operations was $985 for the three months ended September 30, 2017.
