13.	Income Taxes

The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. and various state and foreign jurisdictions. Tax statutes and regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to interpretation and require the application of significant judgment. The Company is currently under examination by one state jurisdiction for the years 2015 through 2017 and one foreign jurisdiction for the years 2011 through 2015. The Company does not expect resolution of these examinations to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

The Company’s total liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018 was $4.2 million and $4.1 million, respectively. The $4.2 million unrecognized tax benefit at September 30, 2018, if recognized, would impact the Company’s effective tax rate.

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2018 decreased to 13.1 percent from 25.0 percent for the same period last year. The effective tax rate decreased primarily due to the reduced U.S. federal corporate tax rate due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the TCJA) along with a one-time tax benefit of $2.2 million recognized during Q1 FY2019 related to a reduction of our previously recorded transition tax liability and the excess tax benefits under ASU 2016-09 – Stock Compensation. The effective tax rate for both periods was also reduced by gains from the change in value of assets invested in corporate owned life insurance (COLI) policies. If gains or losses on the COLI investments throughout the rest of the current fiscal year vary from our estimates, our effective tax rate will fluctuate in future quarters for the year ending June 30, 2019.

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act

The TCJA was enacted on December 22, 2017. Among other things, the TCJA reduced the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35.0 percent to 21.0 percent effective January 1, 2018. As of September 30, 2018, the Company’s accounting for the following elements of the TCJA was not complete: (1) transition tax liability; (2) remeasurement of deferred taxes; (3) Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income; (4) Foreign Derived Intangible Income; and (5) the limitation on the deductibility of certain executive compensation. However, the Company was able to make reasonable estimates and has recorded provisional amounts for all of these elements. Our provisional estimates may be materially impacted by additional clarifications and interpretations of the legislation as they are released. The Company expects to finalize its assessment of all provisional amounts within the allowed one-year measurement period.

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized a $2.2 million tax benefit related to the reduction of our provisional calculation of the one-time transition tax liability. The refinement of this estimate was primarily due to the issuance of new guidance by the IRS issued August 1, 2018. No other adjustments were made to FY2018 provisional amounts during the three months ended September 30, 2018.
