NOTE 9. INCOME TAXES

Our forecasted annual effective tax rate (“AETR”) at September 30, 2022 was 4.3%, as compared to 10.4% at September 30, 2021. This decrease was primarily due to excess tax benefits reduced foreign rate differential, reduced Subpart F inclusion and a change in valuation allowance because of changes in estimates of current-year ordinary income considered in determining the forecasted AETR.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, our effective tax rate (“ETR”) was 5.2% and 0.5%, respectively. The increase in the ETR for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is a result of increased favorable discrete items related to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation that were greater than the previous comparable period, in addition to changes in valuation allowance as the result of changes in estimates of current-year ordinary income.
