9. Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was 39.7% and 24.9%, respectively, compared to 25.3% and 25.0% for the same period in 2024. The U.S. statutory tax rate was 21% for all periods presented. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was negatively impacted by a mix of earnings in higher tax rate jurisdictions, pre-tax charges discrete to the quarter in lower tax rate jurisdictions, and losses in certain jurisdictions with no tax benefit, partially offset by interest income related to payments made in connection with tax disputes of $11 million. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was negatively impacted by a mix of earnings in higher tax rate jurisdictions and losses in certain jurisdictions with no benefit, an increase to reserves for uncertain tax positions of $23 million, unfavorable adjustments related to the carrying value of deferred tax assets of $15 million, and unfavorable adjustments related to changes in certain foreign currency exchange rates of $6 million, partially offset by the release of previously recorded reserves for uncertain tax positions of $59 million as well as interest income related to payments made in connection with tax disputes of $11 million. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was negatively impacted by a mix of earnings in higher tax rate jurisdictions, losses in certain jurisdictions with no tax benefit, and adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets, partially offset by the reduction of valuation allowances related to U.S. and state deferred tax assets.
