INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was 36.9% and (133.3)%, respectively, and 69.3% and (25.3)% for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 includes an increase in the accrual for unrecognized tax benefits, the expiration of foreign statutes of limitation and audit settlements.
The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 includes the impact of additional U.S. losses with minimal tax benefit, the decrease in the accrual for unrecognized tax benefits, audit settlements and the expiration of foreign statutes of limitation.
The effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 includes the release of a valuation allowance in the US as a result of the P&G Beauty Business acquisition of $111.2. The negative effective income tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily the result of the net impact of the settlements with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) as described below.
The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 included the final settlement with the IRS in connection with the 2004 - 2012 examination periods. The settlement primarily related to the acquisition of the Calvin Klein fragrance business. In connection with the settlement, the Company recognized a tax benefit of approximately $193.9 of which $164.2 was mainly due to the recognition of additional deferred tax assets related to the basis of the Calvin Klein trademark, and approximately $29.7 resulted from the reduction of gross unrecognized tax benefits. Of the $193.9 tax benefit, $113.0 was offset by a valuation allowance due to on-going operating losses in the U.S.
There was an increase of $1,042.6 in deferred tax liability for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 compared to fiscal year ended June 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of the P&G Beauty Business and the step up in the book basis of certain assets.
The effective income tax rates vary from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to the effect of (i) jurisdictions with different statutory rates, (ii) adjustments to the Company’s unrealized tax benefits (“UTBs”) and accrued interest, (iii) non-deductible expenses, (iv) audit settlements and (v) valuation allowance changes.
As of March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2016, the gross amount of UTBs was $237.4 and $228.9, respectively. As of March 31, 2017, the total amount of UTBs that, if recognized, would impact the effective income tax rate was $226.6. As of March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2016, the liability associated with UTBs, including accrued interest and penalties, was $154.7 and $131.9, respectively, which was recorded in Income and other taxes payable and Other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The total interest and penalties recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations related to UTBs for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $(0.6) and $0.7, and for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $0.4 and $2.7, respectively. The total gross accrued interest and penalties recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2016 was $10.6 and $9.9, respectively. On the basis of the information available as of March 31, 2017, it is reasonably possible that a decrease of up to $9.0 in UTBs may occur within 12 months as a result of projected resolutions of global tax examinations and a potential lapse of the applicable statutes of limitations.
