INCOME TAXES

 

For the three months ended August 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded an income tax expense (benefit) of $(0.1) million and $0.2 million, respectively. For the three months ended August 31, 2023 and 2022, the effective tax rate was 2.8% and 10.8%, respectively.  For the nine months ended August 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded an income tax expense (benefit) of $(0.2) million and $0.08 million, respectively.  For the nine months ended August 31, 2023 and 2022, the effective tax rate was 2.2% and 1.1%, respectively. The Company’s tax rate differs from the statutory rate of 21.0% due to the effects of state taxes net of federal benefit, the foreign tax rate differential as a result of Byrna South Africa, effects of permanent non-deductible expenses, the recording of a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets generated in the current period, and other effects.
