7. INCOME TAXES

The change in the Company’s effective income tax rate for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 2026 as compared to the respective prior year periods was primarily related to non-deductible expenses in relation to the amount of income (loss) from operations before income tax expense (benefit) and variances in the average effective state income tax rates between the comparative periods.
