During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized income tax expense of $33.4 million on income of $174.1 million, an effective tax rate of 19.2%, as compared to income tax expense of $32.0 million on income of $191.8 million, an effective tax rate of 16.7%, for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The higher effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 when compared with the three months ended June 30, 2023 is primarily due to higher tax related to geographic distribution of income and less favorable discrete items.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized income tax expense of $61.4 million on income of $310.6 million, an effective tax rate of 19.8%, as compared to income tax expense of $55.3 million on income of $325.0 million, an effective tax rate of 17.0%, for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The higher effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 when compared with the six months ended June 30, 2023 is primarily due to higher tax related to geographic distribution of income and less favorable discrete items.

On December 15, 2022, the European Union (“EU”) Member States formally adopted the EU’s Pillar Two Directive, which generally provides for a minimum effective tax rate of 15% for large corporations, as established by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Pillar Two Framework. A number of countries in which we operate have adopted legislation, many of which are effective in 2024 subject to the OECD transitional safe harbor rules, while other countries are still in the process of introducing legislation. The Company has determined the impact of enacted Pillar Two legislation on its financial statements is not material. The Company will continue to evaluate the financial statement impacts as additional Pillar Two rules are enacted.
