Our effective tax rate for the three months ended May 31, 2022, and May 31, 2021, was 23.9% and 1.5%, respectively.

For the three months ended May 31, 2022, our effective tax rate was higher than the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to valuation allowances on the unrealized net loss from changes in fair value of our investment in Canopy and Canopy equity in earnings (losses), partially offset by the benefit of lower effective tax rates applicable to our foreign businesses.

For the three months ended May 31, 2021, our effective tax rate was lower than the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to (i) valuation allowances on the unrealized net loss from changes in fair value of our investment in Canopy and Canopy equity in earnings (losses) and (ii) the impact of the long-lived asset impairment of brewery construction in progress, partially offset by the benefit of lower effective tax rates applicable to our foreign businesses.
