INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXES
The Company’s provision for income taxes is recorded on an interim basis based upon the Company’s estimate of the annual effective income tax rate for the full year applied to “ordinary” income or loss, adjusted each quarter for discrete items. The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $48.3 million and $44.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and $124.2 million and $113.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The Company’s effective tax rate increased to 26.1% in the third quarter of 2024 compared with 25.7% in the third quarter of 2023. The higher rate for the quarter was primarily due to an increase in non-deductible expenses and foreign tax expense in 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company's effective tax rate decreased to 25.6% compared to 25.8% in 2023. The reduced rate was primarily due to a reduction in foreign tax expense in 2024.
