For the third quarter of fiscal 2024, we estimated our annual effective income tax rate to be 7% for fiscal 2024, which is lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate, primarily due to (i) a significant portion of our income qualifying for preferential treatment as foreign-derived intangible income (FDII) at a 13% effective tax rate, which includes certain additional benefits from the requirement to capitalize research and development expenditures for federal income tax purposes, (ii) a benefit from our federal research and development tax credit and (iii) excess tax benefits associated with share-based awards. Our effective tax rate of 8% for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 was higher than our estimated annual effective tax rate of 7%, primarily due to net discrete tax benefits realized in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Our effective tax rate of 1% for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 included benefits from fiscal 2021 and 2022 FDII deductions related to a change in sourcing of research and development expenditures in the third quarter of fiscal 2023.
