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 21.1% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to 17.4% in the same period of 2024. The increase in our effective tax rate for the first quarter was primarily due to a decrease in our tax deduction from stock-based compensation accounted for as a permanent difference.
