The deferred tax assets are currently expected to be realized between fiscal years 2026 and 2031. Based on the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the net deferred tax assets. The Company’s deferred tax valuation allowances are primarily the result of a valuation allowance on tax attributes and foreign losses in jurisdictions in which the Company expects it will have limited future profitability. The changes to the Company’s deferred tax valuation allowances are primarily the result of a valuation allowance on domestic tax attributes.

US Taxation of Foreign Earnings. The Company is subject to US taxation of its foreign subsidiary earnings, which is considered global intangible low-taxed income (commonly known as GILTI), as well as limitations on the deductions of executive compensation, which are included in income tax expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the periods presented above.
The Company currently anticipates repatriating current and future unremitted earnings of non-US subsidiaries, to the extent they have been and will be subject to US income tax, as long as such cash is not required to fund ongoing foreign operations. Due to the complexities in the laws of foreign jurisdictions, it is not practicable to estimate the amount of foreign withholding taxes associated with such unremitted earnings. No intercompany dividends were declared by the Company from a foreign subsidiary with related foreign withholding tax requirements during the year ended March 31, 2025.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company has $16,346 of undistributed earnings and $481,836 of cash and cash equivalents from its non-US subsidiaries, a portion of which may be subject to additional foreign withholding taxes if it were to be repatriated. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has $1,839 of accumulated deficit from its non-US subsidiaries for which no US federal or state income taxes have been paid.
Recent Tax Law Changes. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (commonly known as OECD) has released Pillar Two model rules introducing a 15% global minimum tax rate for large multinational corporations to be effective starting with tax periods ending in 2024. Various jurisdictions in which the Company operates have enacted or plan to enact legislation beginning in calendar year 2024 or in subsequent years. The enactment of Pillar Two legislation did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income during the current period. The Company will continue to monitor and reflect the impact of such legislative changes in future periods, as each of the respective jurisdictions enact the legislation and the legislation becomes effective.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits. When tax returns are filed, some positions taken are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount that would be ultimately sustained upon examination. The benefit of a tax position is recorded in the consolidated financial statements during the period in which the Company believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The recognition threshold is measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement. The portion of the benefit that exceeds the amount measured, as described above, is recorded as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits, along with any associated interest and penalties, in the consolidated balance sheets.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of total gross unrecognized tax benefits are as follows:
Years Ended March 31,
202520242023
Beginning balance$45,620 $44,901 $24,779 
Gross increase related to current year tax positions4,499 4,318 6,865

Lapse of statute of limitations(6,446)(2,948)(2,530)
Ending balance$21,233 $45,620 $44,901 

Total gross unrecognized tax benefits recorded in the consolidated balance sheets are as follows:
As of March 31,
20252024
Current liability
Income tax payable$5,688 $3,998 
Long-term liability
Income tax liability15,545 41,622 
Total$21,233 $45,620 

Net unrecognized tax benefits are defined as gross unrecognized tax benefits, less federal benefit for state income taxes, related to uncertain tax positions taken in the Company’s income tax return that would impact the Company’s effective tax rate, if recognized. Management believes it is reasonably possible that the amount of net unrecognized tax benefits, as well as associated interest and penalties, may decrease during the next 12 months by $2,858, which includes amounts relating to expirations of statute of limitations and settlements of various tax matters. Of this amount, $2,649 would result in an income tax benefit for the Company and $209 would result in a decrease to interest expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

As of March 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company has accrued $3,424 and $6,314 for the payment of interest and penalties, respectively, in income tax liability in the consolidated balance sheets. During the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company recorded $(2,890), $486, and $1,106, respectively, of interest and penalties as a (decrease) or increase to interest expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
The Company has on-going income tax examinations in various state and foreign tax jurisdictions and regularly assesses tax positions taken during years open to examination. The Company files income tax returns in the US federal jurisdiction and various state, local, and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to US federal, state, local, or foreign income tax examinations by tax authorities before fiscal year 2021.

Although the Company believes its tax estimates are reasonable and prepares its tax filings in accordance with all applicable tax laws, the final determination with respect to any tax audits, and any related litigation, could be materially different from the Company’s estimates or from its historical income tax provisions and accruals. The results of an audit or litigation could have a material impact on results of operations or cash flows in the periods for which that determination is made. In addition, future period earnings may be adversely impacted by litigation costs, settlements, penalties, or interest assessments. However, management does not currently expect any such audits and inquiries to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
