12. Income Taxes

The effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were 21.5% and 19.0%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025 relative to the prior year comparable period was primarily due to an internal reorganization in 2024.

The effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were 20.4% and 20.1%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 relative to the prior year comparable period was primarily due to internal reorganizations in 2024.

Dover and its subsidiaries file tax returns in the U.S., including various state and local returns, and in other foreign jurisdictions. We believe adequate provision has been made for all income tax uncertainties. The Company is routinely audited by taxing authorities in its filing jurisdictions, and a number of these audits are currently underway. The Company believes that within the next twelve months uncertain tax positions may be resolved and statutes of limitations will expire, which could result in a decrease in the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $0 to $3,699.
