INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXES
The tax provision for interim periods is determined using the estimated annual effective consolidated tax rate, based on the current estimate of full-year earnings and related estimated full year-taxes, adjusted for the impact of discrete quarterly items.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s Model Global Anti-Base Erosion rules under Pillar Two have been enacted by various countries beginning in 2024. These enacted laws relate to the Pillar Two safe harbors, Income Inclusion Rule, Qualified Domestic Minimum Tax, and the Undertaxed Profits Rule for 2025. We have analyzed the provisions in the applicable jurisdictions and provided for the appropriate tax amounts. We do not expect a material impact from Pillar Two related taxes for 2025.
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. government enacted tax legislation commonly referred to as “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (“OBBBA”). We are reviewing and analyzing the full effects of the corporate tax-related provisions of the OBBBA. While we are continuing to evaluate the full impact of the legislation, we do not expect the OBBBA to have a material effect on our estimated 2025 effective tax rate.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, was 17.1% and 23.8%. The lower effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025 reflects a benefit related to the gain resulting from remeasurement of equity investments to fair value upon Aptar becoming the majority shareholder in the invested companies (4.2%), and a deferred tax benefit resulting from the release of a valuation allowance (2.7%). The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, was 20.4% and 22.7%. The lower effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 reflects deferred tax benefits from the valuation allowance releases (3.1%) and a benefit related to the gain resulting from remeasurement of equity investments to fair value upon Aptar becoming the majority shareholder in the invested companies (1.6%). The tax rate for 2024 reflects tax incentives in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions from intellectual property development activities and greater excess tax benefits from share-based compensation than in 2025.
