The Company is incorporated in Switzerland but operates in various countries with differing tax laws and rates. Further, a portion of the Company’s income before taxes and the provision for (benefit from) income taxes are generated outside of Switzerland.

The income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $25.6 million based on an effective income tax rate of 15.3% of pre-tax income. The income tax provision for the same period ended June 30, 2023 was $12.5 million based on an effective income tax rate of 16.7% of pre-tax income.

The change in the effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared with the same period ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to the change in the mix of income and losses in the various tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates, the favorable tax impacts from share-based compensation and Foreign-Derived Intangible Income.
The Base Erosion and Profit Shifting Project (the “BEPS Project”) undertaken by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (the "OECD") recommended changes to numerous long-standing tax principles, including a proposal to reallocate profits among tax jurisdictions in which companies do business (“Pillar One”) and establishing a minimum tax on global income (“Pillar Two”). Some jurisdictions, including Switzerland, where the Company operates are implementing Pillar Two laws to effectuate a 15% minimum tax. The minimum tax effective beginning in fiscal year 2025 for the Company, is treated as a current cost and does not have a material impact on the Company's effective tax rate. The OECD and participating countries continue to issue underlying rules and administrative guidance related to Pillar Two, and the Company continues to monitor the relevant developments.
