Effective Tax Rates
Our quarterly provision for income taxes is measured using an annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items within the periods presented.
Our effective tax rates are as follows:

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 is higher than the prior year’s comparable period primarily due to the mix of non-U.S. earnings.
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 is higher than the statutory U.S. federal tax rate of 21% primarily due to the mix of non-U.S. earnings.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) has proposed a global minimum tax of 15% of reported profits (“Pillar 2”) that has been agreed upon by over 140 member jurisdictions including the United States. Pillar 2 addresses the risks associated with profit shifting to entities in low tax jurisdictions. We adopted Pillar 2 in 2024 and the anticipated impact of Pillar 2 on our business for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 is approximately $2.6 million.
The Tax Matters Agreement, among other things, governs our and SpinCo’s respective rights, responsibilities and obligations after the Separation with respect to tax liabilities and benefits (including any taxes imposed that are attributable to the failure of the Distribution and certain related transactions to qualify as a transaction that is tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes), tax attributes, the preparation and filing of tax returns, the control of audits and other tax proceedings and other matters regarding taxes. Although enforceable as between the parties, the Tax Matters Agreement will not be binding on the Internal Revenue Service or other tax authorities.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $9.4 million included in “Other liabilities” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
