Excluding the impact of certain discrete income tax items, acquisition related integration charges, foreign currency-related gains and losses, and certain income tax benefits, non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per share for the three months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, were $1.03 and $0.68, respectively, which was an increase of 51.5%. Excluding the impact of certain discrete income tax items, acquisition related integration charges, foreign currency-related gains and losses, certain income tax benefits and payroll taxes related to stock-based compensation, non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per share for the year ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, were $3.70 and $2.56, respectively, which was an increase of 44.5%.
