The Company’s effective tax rate was lower during the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to an increase in the proportion of the Company’s earnings generated in jurisdictions with tax rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate during the three months ended September 30, 2017.
The Company is subject to United States federal income tax examination for all years beginning from the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014. The Company is subject to state income tax examinations for all years beginning from the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. The Company is also subject to examinations in other major foreign jurisdictions, including Singapore, for all years beginning from the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. The Company is under income tax examination in Israel for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 through June 30, 2016. The Company believes that adequate amounts have been reserved for any adjustments that may ultimately result from any examination of these years.
It is possible that certain examinations may be concluded in the next twelve months. The Company believes that it may recognize up to $23.5 million of its existing unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months as a result of the lapse of statutes of limitations and the resolution of examinations with various tax authorities.
