For the nine month period ended September 30, 2023, the Company’s effective tax rate included a net tax benefit of approximately $8.8 million related to share-based payment awards and a benefit of approximately $6 million related to adjustments from the finalization of the Company’s 2022 tax returns, offset, in part, by an increase in non-deductible expenses.
