The higher effective tax rate during the first quarter of 2020 was primarily due to an increase in unbenefited tax losses in Germany partially offset by foreign exchange losses on distributions resulting in a tax benefit of $2.0. In response to COVID-19, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act) was signed into law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act provides numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures, including temporary changes regarding the prior and future utilization of net operating losses, temporary suspension of certain payment requirements for the employer portion of Social Security taxes, technical corrections from prior tax legislation for tax depreciation of certain qualified improvement property, and the creation of certain refundable employee retention credits. In addition, certain non-U.S. jurisdictions have also enacted similar measures. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these measures on its consolidated financial statements. If these measures are determined to be applicable to the Company, they may result in cash refunds and an income tax benefit recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Our financial condition and results of operations have been and are expected to continue to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the governmental and market reactions to COVID-19. The impacts on earnings have already and will continue to have an impact on the Company’s overall effective tax rate throughout the year. The Company operates in various tax jurisdictions and is subject to examination by tax authorities in these jurisdictions. The Company is currently under examination in several jurisdictions including the Czech Republic, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Italy, the U.S. and Venezuela. The estimated tax liability calculation for unrecognized tax benefits considers uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in various tax jurisdictions. Due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from the current estimate of the unrecognized tax benefit. Over the next 12 months, the net amount of the tax liability for unrecognized tax benefits in foreign and domestic jurisdictions could change by approximately $14 due to changes in audit status, expiration of statutes of limitations and other events. In addition, the settlement of any future examinations relating to the 2011 and prior tax years could result in changes in amounts attributable to the Company under its Tax Matters Agreement with Exelis Inc. and Xylem Inc. relating to the Company’s 2011 spin-off of those businesses.
