Income Taxes

For the three and nine months endedNovember 30, 2016, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $3,435 and an income tax benefit of $218, respectively, which includes a discrete income tax provision of $98 and $264, respectively. The calculation of the overall income tax provision (benefit) primarily consists of foreign taxes and an income tax provision resulting from the increase in deferred tax liabilities related to indefinite-lived intangible assets. The discrete income tax provision for the three and nine months endedNovember 30, 2016 relates to the accrual of interest for unrecognized tax benefits and the impact of re-measurement of state deferred tax rates related to finalization of Fiscal 2016 tax filings. For the three and nine months endedNovember 30, 2015, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $2,968 and $791, respectively.

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months endedNovember 30, 2016 was an income tax provision of 46.8% and an income tax benefit of 19.4%, respectively, compared to an income tax provision of 32.8% and 44.7%, respectively, in the comparable prior periods. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months endedNovember 30, 2016 differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the mix of domestic and foreign earnings, and an income tax provision resulting from the increase in deferred tax liabilities related to indefinite-lived intangible assets.

At November 30, 2016, the Company had an uncertain tax position liability of $5,043, including interest and penalties. The unrecognized tax benefits include amounts related to various U.S. federal, state and local and foreign tax issues. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that a decrease in unrecognized tax benefits may be necessary within the coming year as a result of the expected resolution of various income tax examinations.
