INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense for the quarter was computed in accordance with ASC 740-270 Income Taxes - Interim Reporting ("ASC 740-270"). Under this method, losses from jurisdictions for which a valuation allowance has been provided have not been included in the amount to which the ASC 740-270 rate was applied. Income tax expense of the Company fluctuates primarily due to changes in income mix by jurisdiction, changes in losses from jurisdictions for which a valuation allowance has been provided and the impact of discrete items in the respective quarter.
Income tax expense was $3.5 million and $18.7 million for the three months ended July 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Income tax expense was $38.2 million and $45.8 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
As of July 31, 2016, the Company had not recognized U.S. deferred income taxes on the undistributed earnings from certain non-U.S. subsidiaries. The Company’s intention is to reinvest these earnings indefinitely outside of the U.S., or to repatriate the earnings only when it is tax-efficient to do so. Therefore, no U.S. tax provision has been accrued related to the repatriation of these earnings. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of any additional taxes that may be payable on the undistributed earnings given the various alternatives the Company could employ should the Company decide to repatriate those earnings in the future.
