Income Taxes

Note 6. Income Taxes

The effective tax rates for the three months ended April 30, 2024, and 2023, were 31.6% and 39.3%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the six months ended April 30, 2024, and 2023, were 32.0% and 33.7%, respectively. The decreases were primarily due to changes in the geographic composition of pre-tax earnings, partially offset by an increase in the UK statutory tax rate from 19% to 25%.
