Income tax expense for the three months ended August 31, 2026 included approximately $9.0 million of net discrete tax benefits consisting principally of the following: (i) $5.6 million of tax benefits resulting from an adjustment to a prior year tax accrual, and related deferred taxes, based on the final return filed, (ii) $2.3 million of net tax benefits from the reversal of certain reserves for unrecognized tax benefits and related interest associated with the expiration of statutes of limitations, and (iii) $1.4 million of tax benefits resulting from state tax matters, and related deferred taxes.

Income tax expense for the nine months ended August 31, 2026 included $16.4 million of net discrete tax benefits consisting principally of the following: (i) $5.6 million of tax benefits resulting from an adjustment to a prior year tax accrual, and related deferred taxes, based on the final return filed, (ii) $4.2 million of tax benefit associated with the reversal of a deferred tax liability related to the reassessment of a permanent reinvestment assertion, (iii) $3.4 million of net tax benefits from the reversal of certain reserves for unrecognized tax benefits and related interest associated with the expiration of statutes of limitations, (iv) $3.0 million of tax benefit associated with the adjustment of a valuation allowance, and (v) $1.4 million of tax benefits resulting from state tax matters, and related deferred taxes.
Income tax expense for the three months ended August 31, 2025 included approximately $20.0 million of net discrete tax benefits consisting principally of the following: (i) $8.7 million of tax benefits from the reversal of certain reserves for unrecognized tax benefits and related interest, including $4.4 million associated with the expiration of statutes of limitations, (ii) $8.1 million of tax benefits resulting from state tax matters, and related deferred taxes, and (iii) $3.5 million of tax benefits resulting from an adjustment to a prior year tax accrual, and related deferred taxes, based on the final return filed.
Income tax expense for the nine months ended August 31, 2025 included approximately $27.6 million of net discrete tax benefits consisting principally of the following: (i) $10.2 million of tax benefits from the reversal of certain reserves for unrecognized tax benefits and related interest, including $5.9 million associated with the expiration of statutes of limitations, (ii) $8.0 million of tax benefits resulting from state tax matters, and related deferred taxes, (iii) a $5.0 million tax benefit resulting from the revaluation of deferred taxes associated with enacted legislation, (iv) $3.5 million of tax benefits resulting from an adjustment to a prior year tax accrual, and related deferred taxes, based on the final return filed, and (v) $1.0 million of excess tax benefits associated with stock compensation.
Other than additions for current year tax positions and the discrete tax benefit associated with unrecognized tax benefits, as previously described, there were no significant changes to unrecognized tax benefits during the nine months ended August 31, 2026.
As of August 31, 2026, we believe the reasonably possible total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that could increase or decrease in the next 12 months as a result of various statute expirations, audit closures, and/or tax settlements would not be material to our consolidated financial statements.
