Income tax expense$397 15.1 %
(1)    During the year ended December 31, 2025, the tax effect in this category was primarily driven by state taxes in California (greater than 50 percent).
(2)    We recorded a tax expense of $59 in the foreign jurisdictions related to the Digital Aviation Solutions Divestiture. The German Digital Aviation Solutions Divestiture rate benefit was due to the statutory rate difference of ($203) (7.7)% and a participation exemption of ($548) (20.8)%. The Swedish rate benefit was entirely due to a participation exemption.
(3)    Related to the Digital Aviation Solutions Divestiture, in the U.S., we recorded a Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income inclusion, which is offset by a decrease in the federal valuation allowance, resulting in no federal tax expense.
(4)    The worldwide valuation allowance recorded in tax expense was $120 with $50 federal tax benefit shown on this line, $161 state tax expense included in State and Local Tax line item, and $9 foreign tax expense included in Foreign Tax Effects.
