| INCOME TAXES | INCOME TAXES For the third quarter of and year-to-date fiscal year 2026, the Company recorded income tax expense of $12.3 million and $24.0 million, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 36.9% and 33.3%, respectively. The effective tax rate for such periods differed from the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the establishment of valuation allowance on cumulative interest deduction limitations from current and prior fiscal years and the nondeductible component of share-based compensation partially offset by a favorable state refund claim settlement and nontaxable gains from the market performance of insurance products used to fund certain non-qualified retirement plans. For the third quarter of and year-to-date fiscal year 2025, the Company recorded income tax expense of $6.0 million and $27.3 million, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 20.9% and 26.8%, respectively. The effective tax rate for such periods differed from the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the nondeductible component of share-based compensation largely offset by nontaxable gains from the market performance of insurance products used to fund certain non-qualified retirement plans.
