H.       INCOME TAXES

Effective tax rates differ from statutory federal income tax rates, primarily due to provisions for foreign, state and local income taxes and permanent tax differences. Our effective tax rate was 25.1% in the second quarter of 2024 compared to 23.7% in the same period of 2023 and was 21.5% in the first six months of 2024 compared to 23.7% for the same period in 2023. The increase in our effective tax rate for the second quarter was primarily due to the impact of certain compensation expense which is not deductible. The decrease in our effective tax rate for the first six months of 2024 was primarily due to an increase in our tax deduction from stock-based compensation accounted for as a permanent difference.
