It is the Company’s policy to report income tax expense for interim periods using an estimated annual effective income tax rate. The estimated annual effective income tax rate was 23.7 percent and 23.5 percent for the six months ended February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020, respectively.

The tax effects of such discrete events are recognized in the interim period in which the events occur. The Company recorded discrete items resulting in an income tax benefit of $2.6 million for the six months ended February 28, 2021, which includes a benefit of $1.7 million related to the release of a valuation allowance primarily related to net operating loss carryforwards in a foreign jurisdiction that are now expected to be realizable. The tax effects of discrete items did not have a significant impact on income tax expense for the six months ended February 29, 2020.
