Income Taxes

Our consolidated effective tax rate was 24.2%, 24.8% and 22.2% in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The effective tax rate for European based operations was 25.8%, 27.3% and 25.2% in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our effective tax rate in 2023 differs from the 25% statutory rate due to a one-time tax assessment of € 2.8 million ($3.1 million) included in tax expense as the result of a tax audit conducted for the 2020 and 2021 tax years. 

The effective tax rate for United States based operations was 20.4%, 19.3% and 13.8% in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our effective tax rate differs from the 21% statutory rate in the United States as it is a blended rate across multiple jurisdictions, and takes into account benefits received from the exercise of stock options as well as deductions we are allowed for a portion of our foreign derived intangible income, slightly offset by state and local taxes. Additionally, in the third quarter of 2022, our United States based operations recognized a one-time tax benefit of $2.5 million associated with the 2021 Salvatore Ferragamo acquisition. At the time of the acquisition, we had not recognized a deferred tax benefit as there were uncertainties concerning its potential recoverability; however, as of September 30, 2022, recoverability was deemed likely. Other than as discussed above, we did not experience any significant changes in tax rates, and none were expected in the jurisdictions where we operate.

The Company estimated the effect of its foreign derived intangible income (“FDII”) and recorded a tax benefit of $2.4 million, $2.4 million and $1.5
