8. Income Taxes

The Company calculates its tax provision in interim periods using its best estimate of the effective tax rate expected for the full year. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company’s income tax rate of 23.4% was higher than the statutory rate of 21% due primarily to non-deductible executive compensation expense. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company’s tax rate of 20.8% was lower than the statutory rate of 21% due primarily to the tax impact of the permanent component of employee stock option exercises.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s income tax rates of 22.0% and 22.2%, respectively, were higher than the statutory rate of 21% due primarily to non-deductible executive compensation expense.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted into law. The OBBBA extends or makes permanent various tax provisions that were originally enacted in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and were set to expire at the end of 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the OBBBA on its consolidated financial statements.
