8. Income taxes

 

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2018, the Company recorded a provisional amount for the one-time mandatory deemed repatriation tax liability (the “transition tax”) of $230.0 million of which $22.0 million is classified as a current income tax liability. The calculation of the transition tax is provisional and was based upon preliminary estimates of post-1986 earnings and profits and related foreign tax credits. The Act allows the transition tax to be payable over an eight year period without interest. The Company expects to elect to pay over an eight year period.

 

The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the Act including the Company’s historical assertion related to ASC 740 unremitted earnings being permanently reinvested. The Company has not changed its historical assertion with respect to ASC 740 unremitted earnings and considers its unremitted earnings to be permanently reinvested as of March 31, 2018. 

 

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, the Company recorded a provisional expense to account for the deferred tax impacts of the Act, which remained unchanged as of March 31, 2018. The estimates related to the transition tax and deferred taxes are provisional and may change as the Company continues to analyze the impacts of the Act.

 

The Company’s effective tax rate on its loss before income taxes from continuing operations was (338.0)% in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. During the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company’s effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted primarily by (i) the provisional transition tax expense estimate recorded under the requirements of the Act and (ii) the goodwill impairment discussed in Note 4, which was not tax deductible, partially offset primarily by (i) the mix of income in lower tax jurisdictions and (ii) the release of reserves due to the expiration of the statute of limitations in various jurisdictions.

 

During the third quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company’s effective tax rate of 15.3% was favorably impacted primarily by (i) the mix of income in lower tax jurisdictions and (ii) the release of reserves and other discrete tax benefits.

 

For the first nine months of fiscal 2018 the Company’s effective tax rate on its income before income taxes from continuing operations was 489.2%. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2018 was unfavorably impacted primarily by (i) the provisional transition tax expense recorded under the requirements of the Act, (ii) the goodwill impairment, which was not tax deductible, and (iii) the tax expense created from remeasuring net deferred tax assets as a result of applying the requirements of the Act, partially offset primarily by (i) the mix of income in lower tax jurisdictions and (ii) the release of reserves.

 

During the first nine months of fiscal 2017, the Company’s effective tax rate of 25.7% was favorably impacted primarily by (i) the mix of income in lower tax jurisdictions, partially offset by (ii) net increases to valuation allowances against deferred tax assets that were deemed unrealizable and (iii) the impact of non-deductible acquisition related expenses.
