Note 12—Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was 26.7% and 24.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 21.5% and 28.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the prior year was primarily related to a proportionate change in the composition of income before income taxes from foreign and domestic tax jurisdictions, partially offset by an increased recognition of windfall tax benefits from stock awards in the current year. The change in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the prior year was primarily related to releases of uncertain tax positions in the current year due to closed audits, an increased recognition of windfall tax benefits from stock awards in the current year and a proportionate change in the composition of income before income taxes from foreign and domestic tax jurisdictions. The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 include tax benefits of $1.1 million and $41.9 million, respectively, related to releases of uncertain tax positions and $1.5 million and $7.2 million, respectively, of tax refunds, due to closed audits and statute of limitations expirations.
