Provision for Income Taxes. Our effective tax rate of 27.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 decreased 5.8% compared to 33.5% for the same period in 2025. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a favorable shift in the geographic mix of pre-tax income toward lower-tax jurisdictions and strong domestic pre-tax income. Our income tax provision of $11.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 increased $3.4 million compared to our income tax provision of $7.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
