Income Taxes
The effective income tax rates for the three months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, were 24.8 and 23.0 percent, respectively. The increase in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to a discrete unfavorable impact of share-based compensation, as compared to the prior year. During the three months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, the effective income tax rates varied from the U.S. statutory income tax rate of 21.0 percent primarily due to state income taxes.
Within the next 12 months, it is reasonably possible that we could decrease our unrecognized tax benefits by an estimated $1.6, primarily as a result of the expiration of statute of limitation periods.
