Our effective tax rates differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, primarily due to the benefit of earnings in foreign jurisdictions, which are subject to lower tax rates, as well as tax credits, partially offset by net U.S. tax on foreign operations. The effective tax rate for the first three months of 2022 was higher than the same period in 2021 primarily due to the January 1, 2022 effective date of a certain provision enacted as part of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
