Income Tax Income Tax
Our effective tax rate may vary from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate due to the change in the mix of earnings in various foreign and state jurisdictions with different statutory rates, the use of previously unbenefited tax loss carryforwards to reduce foreign taxes, benefits related to tax credits, and the tax impact of non-deductible expenses, stock award activities and other permanent differences between income before income taxes and taxable income. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was (13.1)% and 15.4%, respectively, and the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was 35.1% and 23.5%, respectively. The variance from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) limitation on deduction for officer compensation, other non-deductible items, and income from foreign operations, which were partially offset by the foreign derived intangible income tax benefit. The variance from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) limitation on deduction for officer compensation, non-deductible incentive stock option (ISO) related stock compensation expense, which were partially offset by foreign derived intangible income tax benefit during the period.
