Tax expense for the three month period ended September 30, 2023 was $0.2 million on profit before tax of $2.1 million (an effective tax rate of 8%). During the three months ended September 30, 2023 the Company recorded a discrete tax benefit of $0.7 million primarily related to IRS Notice 2023-55 released in July 2023, which grants taxpayers temporary relief from applying these final foreign tax credit regulations for tax years beginning on or after December 28, 2021 and ending on or before December 31, 2023. Excluding this discrete tax benefit recorded, the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was higher than the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the GILTI provisions and the jurisdictional mix of earnings, particularly Brazil with a statutory rate of 34%, foreign losses not benefitted, and non-creditable foreign withholding tax.

Tax expense for the three month period ended September 30, 2022 was $1.0 million on profit before tax of $3.0 million (an effective tax rate of 32%). The effective tax rate for the three month period ended September 30, 2022 was higher than the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the GILTI provisions, and the jurisdictional mix of earnings, particularly Brazil with a statutory rate of 34%, offset by discrete tax benefits recognized from excess stock compensation deductions, tax credits and permanent deductions generated from research expenses.

The Company has considered the positive and negative evidence to determine the need for a valuation allowance offsetting the deferred tax assets in the U.S. and has concluded that a partial valuation allowance is required against foreign tax credit carryforwards and certain state net operating loss carryforwards and a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets generated in China and Australia at September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023. The Company had long term tax obligations related primarily to transfer pricing adjustments at September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023.
