Our tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that arise during the period. Each quarter, we update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated annual effective tax rate changes, we make a cumulative adjustment in such period.
Our quarterly tax provision for, and estimate of, our annual effective tax rate, is subject to variation due to several factors, including variability in pre-tax income (or loss), the mix of jurisdictions to which such income relates, changes in our business operations and changes in tax laws. Our estimated annual effective tax rate for the year differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% as a result of our U.S. losses for which no tax benefit will be realized, as well as our foreign operations which are subject to tax rates that differ from those in the United States.
For the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, we recorded provision for income taxes of $11.5 million and $8.7 million, respectively. We recorded provision for income taxes of $27.8 million and $7.5 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase for the three months ended April 30, 2026 was primarily driven by the increase in our pre-tax income in non-U.S. jurisdictions in which we conduct business. The increase for the nine months ended April 30, 2026 was primarily driven by a non-recurring release of valuation allowance on our United Kingdom deferred tax assets in the prior year. We are subject to income tax in the U.S. as well as other tax jurisdictions in which we conduct business. Earnings from our non-U.S. operations are subject to income taxes in the countries in which we operate.
The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character in future periods. We assess our ability to realize the deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and we establish a valuation allowance if it is more-likely-than-not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We weigh all available positive and negative evidence, including our earnings history and results of recent operations, scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies. Due to the weight of objectively verifiable negative evidence, including our history of losses in certain jurisdictions, we believe that it is more likely than not that our U.S. federal, state and certain foreign jurisdictions deferred tax assets will not be realized. Accordingly, we have maintained a valuation allowance on our U.S. federal, state and certain foreign jurisdiction deferred tax assets.
On July 4, 2025, the United States enacted tax reform legislation through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Included in this legislation are provisions that allow for the immediate expensing of domestic research and development expenses,
immediate expensing of certain capital expenditures, and other changes to the U.S. taxation of profits derived from foreign operations. We began accounting for the provisions in the legislation in fiscal 2026, which resulted in an immaterial favorable effect on the income tax provision, mainly due to the Company's valuation allowance.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s (OECD) January 2026 guidance introduced a "Side-by-Side Safe Harbor" that may exempt our U.S. operations from certain global minimum tax rules effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2026. However, this relief does not extend to foreign jurisdictions where local minimum tax requirements remain applicable. We continue to monitor these developments and are assessing the potential impact on the income tax provision beginning in fiscal 2027.
