The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 24.4%. The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 varied from the federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the provision for state income taxes and the impact of non-deductible expenses. This was partially offset by a discrete tax benefit from excess tax deductions generated from employee equity transactions that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a discrete tax benefit from the release of previously recorded uncertain tax position liability and a discrete tax benefit from a release of the valuation allowance on state net operating losses anticipated to be utilized prior to expiration.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was (6.0)%. The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 varied from the federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to a benefit from the release of $7.6 million of a previously recorded uncertain tax position liability and a benefit from a partial release of the valuation allowance on state net operating losses anticipated to be utilized prior to

expiration. These benefits were partially offset by the provision for state income taxes, the impact of non-deductible expenses and a discrete tax expense on employee equity transactions that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
