The Company uses the estimated annual effective tax rate method for calculating its tax provision in interim periods, which represents the Company's best estimate of the effective tax rate expected for the full year. The estimated
annual effective tax rate typically differs from the U.S. statutory tax rate, primarily as a result of tax-exempt investment income and any discrete items recognized during the period. The Company's effective tax rates were 20.0% and 20.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and were lower than the federal statutory rate of 21% due primarily to the tax benefits from stock-based compensation, including stock options exercised, and from income generated by certain tax-exempt investments.
