13. INCOME TAXES

Our provision for income taxes varied from the tax computed at the U.S. federal statutory income tax rates for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026 primarily due to the excess tax benefit from share-based compensation, partially offset by state taxes (net of federal tax benefit) and non-taxable and non-deductible expenditures. Our provision for income taxes varied from the tax computed at the U.S. federal statutory income tax rates for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to the excess tax benefit from share-based compensation, partially offset by adjustments related to our acquisition of the remaining outstanding equity interest in Pinehurst, state taxes (net of federal tax benefit), Section 162(m) executive compensation disallowance, and other normal course non-deductible expenditures.

Income Taxes Receivable and Payable

As of March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, we had an income tax receivable of $1.8 million and $4.6 million, respectively.

Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized by evaluating both positive and negative evidence. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. As of March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, management concluded that it was more likely than not that the Company would be able to realize the benefit of the U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. We based this conclusion on historical and projected operating performance, as well as our expectation that our operations will generate sufficient taxable income in future periods to realize the tax benefits associated with the deferred tax assets. A tax valuation allowance was considered unnecessary, as management concluded that it was more likely than not that the Company would be able to realize the benefit of the U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets.

As of March 31, 2026, the condensed consolidated balance sheet reflects the deferred tax items for each tax-paying component (i.e., federal, state and foreign), resulting in a federal deferred tax liability of $12.0 million, a state deferred tax liability of $0.1 million, and a foreign deferred tax liability of $6.1 million. As of June 30, 2025, the consolidated balance sheet reflects the deferred tax items for each tax-paying component (i.e., federal, state and foreign), resulting in a federal deferred tax liability of $12.0 million, a state deferred tax liability of $0.1 million, and a foreign deferred tax liability of $6.2 million. Our net foreign deferred tax liability will fluctuate as the value of the U.S. dollar changes with respect to foreign currencies. The Company intends to indefinitely reinvest the cumulative undistributed earnings held by its foreign subsidiaries.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

The Company has taken or expects to take certain tax benefits on its income tax return filings that it has not recognized as a tax benefit (i.e., an unrecognized tax benefit) on its consolidated statements of income. The Company's measurement of its uncertain tax positions is based on management's assessment of all relevant information, including, but not limited to prior audit experience, audit settlement, or lapse of the applicable statute of limitations. As of March 31, 2026, there have been no material changes to our unrecognized tax benefits or any related interest or penalties since June 30, 2025.

Tax Reform

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("2025 U.S. tax reform") was enacted into law. The 2025 U.S. tax reform contains several key tax laws, including extensions and modifications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company is required to recognize the effect of the tax law changes in the period of enactment, such as remeasuring estimated U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities. We have evaluated the impact from the 2025 U.S. tax reform and the resulting adjustments are temporary in nature and did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or effective tax rate for any periods presented.
