Income Taxes

Note 6. Income Taxes

The effective tax rates for the three months ended July 31, 2025, and July 31, 2024, were 35.3% and 36.1%, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to adjustments related to filing the prior year US tax return, partially offset by changes in the geographical composition of pre-tax earnings. The effective tax rates for the nine months ended July 31, 2025, and July 31, 2024, were 35.4% and 33.6%, respectively. The increase was primarily due to changes in valuation allowance and a decrease in excess tax benefits from share-based compensation, partially offset by changes in unrecognized tax benefits and changes in the geographic composition of pre-tax earnings.
