| 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, 2026 and 2025 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, 2026, the Company recognized income tax expense of $95,958, as compared to $106,326 in the prior-year period. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily attributable to a discrete tax benefit of approximately $25,400 that was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2026 upon resolution of a legacy tax contingency.
