Income Taxes Income Taxes
Laureate’s income tax provisions for all periods consist of federal, state and foreign income taxes. The tax provisions for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are based on estimated full-year effective tax rates, adjusted for discrete income tax items related specifically to the interim periods. Laureate has operations in multiple countries at various statutory tax rates and other operations that are loss-making entities for which it is not more likely than not that a tax benefit will be realized on the loss.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized income tax expense of $106,326, as compared to $72,526 in the prior-year period. The Company recognized a net deferred tax benefit of approximately $37,900 during the three months ended September 30, 2024 related to the release of a deferred tax liability that was no longer required upon completion of an entity restructuring following regulatory approval.

The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. The Company does not expect it to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
