We compare the percent change in the results from one period to another period using constant currency disclosure. We present constant currency

information to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations.

To present this information, current and comparative prior period results for entities reporting in currencies other than United States dollars are

converted into United States dollars at the exchange rates in effect on May 31, 2022, which was the last day of our prior fiscal year, rather than the

actual exchange rates in effect during the respective periods. Movements in international currencies relative to the United States dollar during the

three months ended February 28, 2023 compared with the corresponding prior year period decreased our total revenues by 3 percentage points, total

operating expenses by 2 percentage points and operating income by 4 percentage points.

Income tax effects were calculated reflecting an effective GAAP tax rate of 14.5% and 18.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 and 2022, respectively, and an effective non-GAAP tax rate of 18.4% and 19.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 and 2022, respectively. The difference in our GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates in each of the third quarter of fiscal 2023 and 2022 was primarily due to the net tax effects related to stock-based compensation expense and acquisition related and other items, including the tax effects on amortization of intangible assets, partially offset by the net deferred tax effects related to an income tax benefit that was previously recorded due to the partial realignment of our legal entity structure.

Income tax effects were calculated reflecting an effective GAAP tax rate of 13.8% and 12.3% in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 and 2022, respectively, and an effective non-GAAP tax rate of 19.4% and 18.8% in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 and 2022, respectively. The difference in our GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 was primarily due to the net tax effects related to stock-based compensation expense and acquisition related and other items, including the tax effects on amortization of intangible assets, partially offset by the net deferred tax effects related to an income tax benefit that was previously recorded due to the partial realignment of our legal entity structure. The difference in our GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 was primarily due to the net tax effects related to stock-based compensation expense and acquisition related and other items, including the net tax effects for litigation related charges (refer to Appendix A for additional information), and the net tax effects on amortization of intangible assets, partially offset by the net deferred tax effects related to an income tax benefit that was previously recorded due to the partial realignment of our legal entity structure.
