| Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company computes its year-to-date provision for income taxes by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date pretax income or loss and adjusts the provision for discrete tax items recorded in the period. During the three months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $2.2 million and $2.5 million, respectively, and income tax expense of $4.6 million and $4.3 million for the six months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The Company’s effective tax rate generally differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate primarily due to a full valuation allowance related to the Company’s U.S. deferred tax assets, partially offset by state taxes and the foreign tax rate differential on non-U.S. income.
The Company regularly evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets and establishes a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence. As of July 31, 2022, the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets for the U.S. and certain international entities.
During the three and six months ended July 31, 2022, the Company recorded a $0.1 million and $0.2 million reserve, respectively, related to unrecognized tax benefits.
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was signed into law on August 16, 2022. The bill was meant to address the high inflation rate in the U.S. through various climate, energy, healthcare, and other incentives. These incentives are meant to be paid for by the tax provisions included in the IRA, such as a new 15 percent corporate minimum tax, a 1 percent new excise tax on stock buybacks, additional IRS funding to improve taxpayer compliance, and others. At this time, none of the IRA tax provisions are expected to have a material impact to the Company's fiscal 2023 tax provision. The Company will continue to monitor for updates to the Company's business along with guidance issued with respect to the IRA to determine whether any adjustments are needed to the Company's tax provision in future periods.
