| Income Taxes | Income Taxes Income tax provisions for the Company's interim periods are based on the effective income tax rate expected to be applicable for the full year. The Company's consolidated income taxes for the first six months of fiscal 2025 represented a benefit of $5,086, compared to a benefit of $1,848 for the first six months of fiscal 2024. The difference between the Company’s consolidated income taxes for the first six months of fiscal 2025 compared to the same period for fiscal 2024 resulted from a consolidated pre-tax loss in fiscal 2025 compared to consolidated pre-tax income in fiscal 2024. The Company’s fiscal 2025 six month effective tax rate varied from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to state taxes, tax credits, non-tax benefited foreign losses, and other net discrete tax benefits. The Company’s fiscal 2024 six month effective tax rate varied from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to state taxes, foreign statutory rate differentials, tax credits, non-tax benefited foreign losses, and a net discrete tax benefit. The Company had unrecognized tax benefits (excluding penalties and interest) of $1,977 and $4,506 on March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively, which would impact the annual effective rate at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively. It is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $346 in the next 12 months primarily due to the completion of audits and the expiration of the statute of limitations. The Company classifies interest and penalties on tax uncertainties as a component of the provision for income taxes. Total penalties and interest accrued were $230 and $588 at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively. These accruals may potentially be applicable in the event of an unfavorable outcome of uncertain tax positions. The Company is currently under examination in several tax jurisdictions and remains subject to examination until the statute of limitations expires for those tax jurisdictions. As of March 31, 2025, the tax years that remain subject to examination by major jurisdictions generally are:
