15.    Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 23.6% and 24.3%, respectively, compared to 23.5% and 22.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the nine month period of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 was primarily attributable to a lower income tax benefit recognized for excess tax benefits from stock option exercises of $27,748 and $37,834 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
