The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 2025 was 22.1% compared to 19.5% in the 2024 period. The nine months ended September 2025 included a net discrete tax benefit primarily related to stock-based compensation, one-time benefits related to the release of tax reserves and the remeasurement of deferred tax assets, partially offset by an increase in valuation allowances in a foreign jurisdiction, the net impact of which decreased the effective income tax rate by 0.5%. The nine months ended September 2024 included a net discrete tax benefit primarily related to stock-based compensation which decreased the effective income tax rate by 0.7%. The effective tax rate without discrete items for the nine months ended September 2025 was 22.6% compared to 20.2% in the 2024 period. The increase was primarily due to changes in our jurisdictional mix of earnings and estimated non-deductible transaction costs incurred in conjunction with the Acquisition.
During the nine months ended September 2025, the amount of net unrecognized tax benefits and associated interest decreased by $0.9 million to $11.6 million. Management does not believe that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially decrease within the next 12 fiscal months.
