Income Taxes

The income tax provision is calculated using an estimated annual effective tax rate, based upon estimates of annual income, permanent items, statutory tax rates and planned tax strategies in the various jurisdictions in which we operate except that certain loss jurisdictions and discrete items, such as the resolution of uncertain tax positions and stock-based accounting income tax benefits, are treated separately.

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 was 19.2% and 20.1%, respectively, compared with an effective income tax rate for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 of 23.0% and 14.3%, respectively. The third quarter and first nine months of 2023 includes net discrete income tax benefits of $6.1 million and $14.1 million, respectively, compared with net discrete income tax benefits of $0.3 million and $57.8 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively. The third quarter and first nine months of 2023 net discrete income tax benefits include $6.5 million and $13.7 million, respectively, related to stock-based accounting compared with $0.2 million and $8.7 million, of net discrete income tax benefits related to stock-based accounting for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively. The first nine months of 2022 also includes net discrete income tax benefits of $49.1 million primarily related to the change in or resolution of certain acquisition-related tax reserves. Excluding the net discrete income tax items in both periods, the effective tax rates would have been 21.7% and 22.1% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, respectively, and 23.1% for both the third quarter and first nine months of 2022.
