Our effective tax rate for the six months ended August 31, 2022, and August 31, 2021, was (53.3)% and (15.3)%, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended August 31, 2022, and August 31, 2021, was (13.1)% and 91.7%, respectively.

For the six months and three months ended August 31, 2022, our effective tax rate did not approximate the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to an increase in the valuation allowance related to our investment in Canopy, partially offset by a net income tax benefit recognized from the realization of tax losses related to a prior period divestiture.

For the six months ended August 31, 2021, our effective tax rate was lower than the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to (i) an increase in the valuation allowance related to our investment in Canopy and (ii) the impact of the long-lived asset impairment of brewery construction in progress.

For the three months ended August 31, 2021, our effective tax rate was higher than the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to an increase in the valuation allowance related to our investment in Canopy, partially offset by the benefit of lower effective tax rates applicable to our foreign businesses.
