K. INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate was 27 percent and 25 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and was 25 percent and 24 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was unfavorably impacted primarily by $4 million of income tax expense resulting from adjustments to reflect filed tax returns and an increase in the liability for uncertain tax positions.
