The increase for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 was reflective of license, maintenance and professional services revenue increases of $30.3 million, or 4.9%, $41.8 million, or 5.5%, and $32.1 million, or 26.0%, respectively.

ESM license revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 decreased by $15.2 million, or 10.2%, from the prior year quarter, primarily due to a $10.8 million decrease in the recognition of previously deferred license revenue and a $4.4 million reduction in upfront license revenue recognized in connection with new transactions. The decrease in upfront license revenue recognized in the quarter ended December 31, 2011 was attributable to a decrease in license bookings, partially offset by a higher percentage of such bookings that were recognized as revenue upfront rather than ratably over the underlying contractual maintenance terms. ESM license revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 increased by $4.8 million, or 1.2%, over the prior year period, primarily due to an $8.3 million increase in the amount of upfront license revenue recognized in connection with new transactions, offset by a $3.5 million decrease in the recognition of previously deferred license revenue. The increase in upfront license revenue recognized in the nine months ended December 31, 2011 was attributable to a higher percentage of license bookings that were recognized as revenue upfront rather than ratably over the underlying contractual maintenance terms, partially offset by a decrease in license bookings.

Our effective tax rate generally differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to favorable tax rates associated with earnings from lower tax rate jurisdictions throughout the world and our policy of indefinitely reinvesting earnings from certain jurisdictions (primarily in Europe), as well as due to additional accruals, changes in estimates, releases and settlements with taxing authorities related to our uncertain tax positions and benefits associated with income attributable to both domestic production activities and the extraterritorial income exclusion. During the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2011, the overall favorable effects of foreign tax rates on our effective tax rate were 7.3% and 8.6% of pre-tax earnings, respectively. During the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2010, the overall favorable effects of foreign tax rates on our effective tax rate were 10.9% and 11.7% of pre-tax earnings, respectively. During the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, we also recorded discrete net tax benefits of $6.2 million and $32.0 million, respectively, associated with tax authority settlements related to prior years tax matters which favorably impacted our effective tax rate by 1.4% and 8.3% of pre-tax earnings, respectively. Our effective tax rate could fluctuate on a quarterly basis and could be adversely affected to the extent earnings are lower than anticipated in countries with lower statutory rates and higher than anticipated in countries with higher statutory rates.
