(11) INCOME TAXES

In order to determine the Company’s quarterly provision for income taxes, the Company used an estimated annual effective tax rate that is based on expected annual income and statutory tax rates in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates.  The Tax Act Cuts and Jobs Act reduces the federal corporate tax rate to 21% for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020.  Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter during which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rate from quarter to quarter.

Income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $(15.9), or approximately 12.1% of pre-tax income compared to income tax benefit of $(3.6), or approximately 109.1% of pre-tax income, for the three months ended March 31, 2019.  Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 is based on the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2020, adjusted by discrete items recognized during the period.  For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company’s recognized effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the effect of state income taxes, foreign income taxes, impairment of intangible assets, sale of foreign subsidiaries, and differences related to the tax effect of equity compensation expense and the deduction realized when exercised, released or sold.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES”) was enacted.  CARES impacted several provisions to the U.S. tax code that may affect our fiscal year ending June 30, 2020, including, but not limited to, (1) NOL carry-back and carry-forward provisions, (2) deductibility of interest, (3) acceleration of corporate AMT credits, and (4) classification of qualified improvement property.  As of the quarter ended March 31, 2020, no material impact has been recognized.  The Company will continue to evaluate the application of any and all provisions through the remainder of the fiscal year.

The Company files U.S., foreign and state income tax returns in jurisdictions with various statutes of limitations.  The Company is currently under audit by the state of New Jersey for the fiscal years June 30, 2013 through 2017; the state of New York and Massachusetts for the fiscal years June 30, 2014 through 2016; Germany for the fiscal years June 30, 2013 through 2015; and Switzerland for the fiscal years June 30, 2015 through 2016. Annual and interim tax provisions include amounts considered necessary to pay assessments that may result from examination of prior year tax returns; however, the amount ultimately paid upon resolution of issues may differ materially from the amount accrued.
