This is partially offset by a $1.5 million increase in interest expense and a $0.6 million loss in foreign currency exchange fluctuations. 

During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded income tax expense of $0.8 million at an ETR of 30.10%. The Company has computed the provision for income taxes based on the estimated annual effective tax rate excluding loss jurisdictions with no tax benefit and the application of discrete items, if any, for interim reporting.
