The Company's effective tax rates for the three months ended January 31, 2021 and January 31, 2020 were (1,406.3)% and 7.1%, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to an intra-group transfer of intellectual property during the three months ended January 31, 2021, as discussed below. The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended January 31, 2021 was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate primarily due to the intra-group transfer. The Company's effective tax rates for the three months ended January 31, 2021 and January 31, 2020 were otherwise lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate primarily due to earnings in foreign jurisdictions with lower tax rates and excess tax benefits from share-based compensation.

In November 2020, the Company completed an intra-group transfer of certain intellectual property and related assets to a UK subsidiary as part of a group restructuring to establish headquarters operations in the UK. Income before income taxes resulting from this transfer is eliminated upon consolidation. The transfer resulted in a step-up of the UK tax-deductible basis in the intellectual property and goodwill, creating a temporary difference between the book basis and the tax basis of these assets. As a result, the Company recognized a deferred tax asset of $1,987.9 million, with a corresponding income tax benefit, during the three months ended January 31, 2021.
