| Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Income Taxes | Income Taxes 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 three months of fiscal 2023 were an expense of $1,312, compared to a benefit of $6,628 for the first three months of fiscal 2022. The difference between the Company’s consolidated income taxes for the first three 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 three month effective tax rate varied from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to state taxes, foreign statutory rate differentials, and tax credits. The Company’s fiscal 2022 three month effective tax rate varied from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to state taxes, foreign statutory rate differentials, and tax credits.
The Company had unrecognized tax benefits (excluding penalties and interest) of $4,249 and $4,123 on December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively, which would impact the annual effective rate at December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively. It is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $1,425 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 $994 and $876 at December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively. These accruals may potentially be applicable in the event of an unfavorable outcome of uncertain tax positions.
