Income Taxes	Note 4.Income Taxes Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes, differing tax rates on foreign earnings and discrete tax items that impacted income tax expense in these periods. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was 7.8% compared to 39.1% in the same period of fiscal 2015. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2016 was 14.0% compared to 34.6% in the same period of fiscal 2015. The lower effective tax rate for the third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal 2016 is primarily attributable to a research and development tax credit that was recognized in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, which decreased tax expense by approximately $800. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. The objective of this update was to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes by requiring that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company chose to adopt this standard change prospectively beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2016.
