Income Taxes

    The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $3.7 million and $8.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The effective tax rate was 12.7% and 25.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2020 is lower than that for the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to decrease in tax reserves for uncertain tax positions after settlement of certain tax audits, and increase in the tax benefit related to employees’ stock-based compensation.

    As a result of the 2017 Tax Reform Act, in December 2019, the Company realigned its international business operations and group structure. As a part of this restructuring, the Company moved certain intellectual property back to the United States. This tax restructuring does not have a material impact on the estimated annual effective tax rate.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted. The CARES Act provides temporary relief from certain aspects of the 2017 Tax Reform Act that imposed limitations on the utilization of certain losses, interest expense deductions and alternative minimum tax credits and made a technical correction to the 2017 Tax Reform Act related to the depreciable life of qualified improvement property. The CARES Act does not have a material impact on the Company.

               As of September 30, 2020, the Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $30.5 million, of which, $14.1 million if recognized, would affect the Company's effective tax rate. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, there was a $3.3 million increase in gross unrecognized tax benefits. The Company’s policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the provision for taxes on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had accrued $2.3 million of interest and penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits.

    Under the 2017 Tax Reform Act, starting on July 1, 2018, the Company is no longer subject to federal income tax on earnings remitted from our foreign subsidiaries. As a result of the 2017 Tax Reform Act, the Company has determined that its foreign undistributed earnings are indefinitely reinvested except for undistributed earnings related to the Company's operations in the Netherlands. The Company may repatriate certain foreign earnings from the Netherlands that have been previously taxed in the U.S. The tax impact of such repatriation is estimated to be immaterial.

In October 2019, the Taiwan tax authority completed its audit in Taiwan for fiscal year 2018 and proposed a transfer pricing adjustment resulting in additional tax liability of $1.6 million. The Company accepted the proposed adjustment in October 2019 and paid the $1.6 million tax liability in February 2020. In February 2020, the Taiwan tax authority completed its audit in Taiwan for fiscal year 2019 and proposed a transfer pricing adjustment resulting in an additional tax liability of $1.0 million. The Company accepted the proposed adjustment and paid the $1.0 million tax liability in February 2020. The impact of these adjustments on the income statement was offset by the release of previously unrecognized tax benefits related to the fiscal years audited in the periods in which the proposed adjustments were accepted.

The Company believes that it has adequately provided reserves for all uncertain tax positions; however, amounts asserted by tax authorities could be greater or less than the Company’s current position. Accordingly, the Company’s provision on federal, state and foreign tax related matters to be recorded in the future may change as revised estimates are made or as the underlying matters are settled or otherwise resolved.

The federal statute of limitations remains open in general for tax years ended June 30, 2017 through 2020. Various states statutes of limitations remain open in general for tax years ended June 30, 2016 through 2020. Certain statutes of limitations in major foreign jurisdictions remain open in general for the tax years ended June 30, 2015 through 2020. It is reasonably possible that our gross unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by approximately $1.2 million, in the next 12 months, due to the lapse of the statute of limitations. These adjustments, if recognized, would positively impact our effective tax rate, and would be recognized as additional tax benefits.
