INCOME TAXES

INCOME TAXES

In determining its quarterly provision for income taxes, the Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rates from quarter to quarter. The effective tax rate on earnings was 18.1% and 28.2% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, and 29.3% and 26.7% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, respectively. The lower tax rate in the current three month period compared to the prior three month period was primarily driven by an international legal entity reorganization and higher compensation deductions in the current period.

Income taxes paid, net of refunds, were $148 and $194 for the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The higher payments in the prior period were primarily driven by income tax payments for fiscal year 2023 that were deferred to fiscal year 2024 as a result of tax relief provided by the IRS due to winter storms in California.
