Income Taxes
Note 14 — Income Taxes
The Company is subject to income tax in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. A significant portion of the Company's earnings are taxed in jurisdictions with tax rates that are lower than the statutory tax rate of the United States. The effective tax rate can change from quarter to quarter because of variability in global pretax income or geographical mix of the Company's earnings, changes in tax laws and matters related to tax audits.
The effective tax rates were 37.0% and 45.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in the Company's effective tax rate compared to the prior period is primarily due to favorable tax impacts resulting from overall higher earnings reflected in the current period. This was partially offset by higher taxes on undistributed foreign earnings and reduced tax benefits from non-taxable income.
The effective tax rates were 35.7% and (24.4)% for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in the Company's effective tax rate compared to the prior period is primarily due to the absence of non-recurring tax benefits recognized in the prior period related to withholding taxes on undistributed foreign earnings, Swiss tax law changes and lower tax reserves. This was partially offset by favorable tax impacts primarily resulting from overall higher earnings reflected in the current period.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill ("OBBB") Act, which includes a broad range of tax reform provisions, was signed into law in the United States and we continue to assess its impact. We currently do not expect the OBBB Act to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations in fiscal year 2025.
