For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company's effective tax rate was 24% and 25%, respectively. The Company reported a tax charge on pretax income for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, with foreign entities recognizing earnings of $107.6 million and $148.1 million, respectively.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company's effective tax rate was 19% and 83%, respectively. The Company reported a tax charge on pretax income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and a tax benefit on pretax loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, with foreign entities recognizing earnings of $47.9 million and $64.9 million, respectively.

The Company’s effective tax rate could fluctuate on a quarterly basis due to the occurrence of significant and unusual or infrequent items, such as vesting of stock-based compensation or foreign currency gains and losses. The Company’s effective tax rate could also fluctuate due to changes in the valuation of its deferred tax assets or liabilities, or by changes in tax laws, regulations, accounting principles, or interpretations thereof. In addition, the Company is occasionally subject to examination of its income tax returns by tax authorities in the jurisdictions it operates. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of its provision for income taxes.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting released Pillar Two Model Rules (“Pillar Two”) for a global minimum tax. Many countries have enacted certain aspects of the Pillar Two framework with effective dates in 2024. Entities operating in countries where Pillar Two has been enacted are required to estimate Pillar Two top-up tax obligations beginning in the first quarter of 2024.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company did not have material Pillar Two top-up tax obligations impacting the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of proposed and enacted legislation as new guidance becomes available.

As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions was $21.0 million and $20.9 million, respectively, excluding related liabilities for interest and penalties of $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

The Company believes it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will decrease within the next 12 months by approximately $2.3 million, due to the settlement of various audits and the expiration of statutes of limitation.
