Income Taxes

The tax provision for interim periods is determined using the estimated annual effective consolidated tax rate, based on the current estimate of full-year earnings before taxes, adjusted for the impact of discrete quarterly items.

The provision for income taxes was $16.4 million and $23.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and the effective tax rate was 12.9% and 14.9%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to a shift in the forecasted geographic earnings mix, offset by a decrease in the tax benefit related to stock-based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we recorded a tax benefit of $10.9 million and $11.6 million, respectively, associated with stock-based compensation. The Company continues to address the change in tax laws enacted pursuant to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)’s 15% global minimum tax initiative (Pillar 2). The 2024 forecasted impact of Pillar 2 is not expected to be material to the Company.
