INCOME TAXES | INCOME TAXES The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 2025 was 23.3% compared to 20.3% in the 2024 period. The three months ended March 2025 included a net discrete tax expense primarily related to an increase in valuation allowances in a foreign jurisdiction, partially offset by a discrete tax benefit related to stock-based compensation, the net impact of which increased the effective income tax rate by 1.9%. The three months ended March 2024 included a net discrete tax benefit primarily related to stock-based compensation which decreased the effective income tax rate by 1.0%. The effective tax rate without discrete items for the three months ended March 2025 was 21.4% compared to 21.3% in the 2024 period. The increase was primarily due to changes in our jurisdictional mix of earnings. During the three months ended March 2025, the amount of net unrecognized tax benefits and associated interest increased by $0.4 million to $12.9 million. Management does not believe that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially decrease within the next 12 fiscal months.
