Income Taxes Income Taxes
The effective income tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were 21.5% and 15.6%, respectively. The effective income tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were 20.4% and 16.1%, respectively.
The higher effective income tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, versus the comparable periods in 2024, were primarily due to the 15% global minimum tax (Pillar 2 Rules) and a change in the Company’s geographic mix of earnings. The Pillar 2 Rules took effect in 2025 in Singapore and various other jurisdictions and largely offsets the reduction to the Company’s effective income tax rate resulting from the Company’s incentive grant received from the Singapore Ministry of Finance.
The Company is subject to tax in the United States, Belgium, Singapore, the United Kingdom and various other foreign jurisdictions, as well as state and local jurisdictions. Uncertain tax positions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are adjusted after considering facts and circumstances, including progress of tax audits, developments in case law and closing of statutes of limitation. Within the next twelve months, the Company believes that the resolution of certain federal, foreign and state and local examinations is reasonably possible and that a change in estimate, reducing unrecognized tax benefits, may occur. While such a change may be significant, it is not possible to provide a range of the potential change until the examinations progress further or the related statutes of limitation expire. The Company has effectively settled its U.S. federal income tax obligations through 2014. With limited exception, the Company is no longer subject to state and local or foreign examinations by tax authorities for years before 2014.
