Income Taxes

Income TaxesThe Company’s provision for income taxes is based upon estimated annual tax rates for the year applied to federal, state and foreign income. The provision for income taxes increased to $35.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $17.4 million during the same period in 2020. The effective tax rate increased to 23.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 14.4% during the same period in 2020 primarily due to the impact of the finalization of the Global Intangible Low-Tax Income (“GILTI”) regulations enacted in the third quarter of 2020 as well as a decrease in the excess tax benefit related to share-based compensation in the current period.

The provision for income taxes increased to $96.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from $63.8 million during the same period in 2020. The effective tax rate increased to 22.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 18.7% during the same period in 2020 primarily due to the impact of the finalization of the GILTI regulations enacted in the third quarter of 2020 as well as a decrease in the excess tax benefit related to share-based compensation in the current period.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction as well as various state and foreign jurisdictions. Due to the potential for resolution of federal, state and foreign examinations and the expiration of various statutes of limitation, it is reasonably possible that the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits balance may change within the next twelve months by a range of zero to $0.3 million.
