INCOME TAXES [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	NOTE 17. INCOME TAXES During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, our income tax provision was $3.6 million, based on an effective tax rate of 35%, and $6.5 million, based on an effective tax rate of 36%, respectively. The dollar decrease in the income tax provision during the three months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the same period last year, was attributable to lower pre-tax income. The decrease in the effective tax rate during the three months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the same period last year, was primarily attributable to the recognition of excess tax benefits as a discrete item in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 pursuant to ASU 2016-09, which we adopted effective the first quarter of fiscal 2018, partially offset by lower federal benefits for qualified production activities during the three months ended September 30, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 is discussed further in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” During the six months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, our income tax provision was $7.0 million, based on an effective tax rate of 35%, and $10.4 million, based on an effective tax rate of 36%, respectively.
