Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes Income Taxes
We apply an estimated annual effective tax rate to our year-to-date operating results to determine the interim provision for income tax expense. In addition, we recognize taxes related to unusual or infrequent items or resulting from a change in judgment regarding a position taken in a prior year as discrete items in the interim period in which the event occurs.
Our effective tax rates for the three months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025 were 24.2% and 24.0%, respectively. Our effective tax rates for the nine months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025 were 24.3% and 22.1%, respectively. The higher effective tax rate for the nine months ended May 31, 2026 was primarily due to reduced tax benefits from share-based payments and adjustments to prior year tax liabilities.
