13.    INCOME TAXES

The income tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter, the estimate of the annual effective tax rate is updated, and if the estimated effective tax rate changes, a cumulative adjustment is made. There is potential for volatility of the effective tax rate due to several factors, including changes in the mix of the pre-tax income and the jurisdictions to which it relates, changes in tax laws, settlements with taxing authorities and foreign currency fluctuations.

The effective income tax rate was 23.1% and 20.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the effective income tax rate was 22.0% and 21.6%, respectively.

On July 4, 2025, legislation commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law which, among other things, modifies the income tax treatment of research and development expenses, as well as includes revisions to bonus depreciation and international tax regimes. The Company is in the process of evaluating the financial implications of the OBBBA and will begin reflecting its effects in the third quarter of 2025.
