Note 17. Income taxes

 

The determination of the Company’s overall effective tax rate requires significant judgment, the use of estimates, and the interpretation and application of complex tax laws. The effective tax rate reflects the income earned and taxed in various United States federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions. Tax law changes, increases, and decreases in temporary and permanent differences between book and tax items, valuation allowances against the deferred tax assets, stock compensation, and the Company’s change in income in each jurisdiction all affect the overall effective tax rate. It is the Company’s practice to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

 

The Company reported income tax expense of $1,974 and $3,235 for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2026, and $1,203 and $4,125 for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2025. The income tax expense in the current period varies from the US statutory income tax rate and prior year period primarily due to the geographical mix of earnings and losses with no tax benefit resulting from valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions.
