INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was 15.9% versus 21.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by a discrete tax benefit related to stock option exercises in the current year.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $4.5 million and $4.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would impact the effective income tax rate if recognized.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in Provision for Income Taxes in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company had approximately $0.6 million and $0.5 million of accrued interest as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
The Company conducts business globally and, as a result, files income tax returns in the US federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. The US Internal Revenue Service is currently conducting an audit of the Company's 2022 income tax return. No material deficiencies have been assessed related to ongoing audits as of March 31, 2026.
