Income tax provisions for the Company's interim periods are based on the effective income tax rate expected to be applicable for the full year. The Company's consolidated income taxes for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 were an expense of $4,136, compared to a benefit of $2,311 for the first nine months of fiscal 2022. The difference between the Company’s consolidated income taxes for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 compared to the same period for fiscal 2022 primarily resulted from consolidated pre-tax income in fiscal 2023 compared to a pre-tax loss in fiscal 2022. The Company’s fiscal 2023 nine-month effective tax rate varied from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to state taxes, foreign statutory rate differentials, tax credits, and non-tax benefited foreign losses. The Company’s fiscal 2022 nine-month effective tax rate varied from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to the non-deductible asset write-downs in Russia, state taxes, foreign statutory rate differentials, and tax credits.

The Company had unrecognized tax benefits (excluding penalties and interest) of $4,582 and $4,123 on June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively, which would impact the annual effective rate at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. It is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $3,213 in the next 12 months primarily due to the completion of audits and the expiration of the statute of limitations.

The Company classifies interest and penalties on tax uncertainties as a component of the provision for income taxes. Total penalties and interest accrued were $959 and $876 at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively.  These accruals may potentially be applicable in the event of an unfavorable outcome of uncertain tax positions.

The Company is currently under examination in several tax jurisdictions and remains subject to examination until the statute of limitations expires for those tax jurisdictions.  As of June 30, 2023, the tax years that remain subject to examination by major jurisdictions generally are:

United States – Federal 2019 and forward
United States – State 2018 and forward
Canada 2019 and forward
Germany 2019 and forward
