INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXES
Our effective income tax rate can differ from the 21% U.S. federal statutory rate due to a number of factors, including foreign rate differences, tax incentives, non-deductible expenses, non-taxable income, increases or decreases in
valuation allowances, increases or decreases in liabilities for uncertain tax positions, and excess tax benefits or shortfalls on stock compensation awards.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the difference between our effective income tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate was primarily driven by our near break-even pre-tax results and increases to our valuation allowance on U.S. deferred tax assets. The quarter also reflects income tax recorded related to tax shortfalls on stock compensation awards.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the difference between our effective income tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate was primarily driven by our near break-even pre-tax income and a tax benefit driven by an entity classification election that we made for U.S. tax purposes, which resulted in a capital loss.
We are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for transfer pricing matters related to transactions with our manufacturing operations in Costa Rica and Puerto Rico for the 2019 and 2020 tax years. During the quarter, we received a Notice of Proposed Adjustment (NOPA) from the IRS covering the 2019 and 2020 tax years that is consistent with our existing and previously disclosed uncertain tax position reserves. We did not record adjustments to the reserves in connection with the NOPA, other than interest that may be owed upon conclusion of the audit.
