Our effective tax rate was 28 points higher in the first quarter of 2022 than in the prior-year comparable period. Net income was $22.6 million, a year-over-year increase of 1%, a comparison that was impacted by the meaningful differences in our effective tax rate.

Absent such discrete tax items in future quarters, we expect our effective tax rate to be around 25%. However, our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2021 was an unusually low (6%), primarily due to excess tax benefits realized as a result of the exercise of non-qualified stock options.
