Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recorded an income tax provision of $168 million on pre-tax income of $844 million, or an effective tax rate of 20.0%, compared to an income tax provision of $86 million on pre-tax income of $437 million, or an effective tax rate of 19.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Our effective tax rate is impacted by earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests as our consolidated income tax provision does not include a tax provision on the earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 of 20.0%, which is based on pre-tax income of $844 million, including $61 million of earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests, would be 1.5 percentage points higher if based on pre-tax income exclusive of the $61 million of earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 of 19.8%, which is based on pre-tax income of $437 million, including $39 million of earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests, would be 1.9 percentage points higher if based on pre-tax income exclusive of the $39 million of earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests.

Noncurrent income tax-related assets

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, other assets on our consolidated balance sheets include income tax-related assets of $775 million and $654 million, respectively, which primarily relate to transfer pricing matters.

For tax years after 2011, certain of our Canadian subsidiaries were accepted for consideration under the bilateral settlement provisions of the U.S.-Canada tax treaty by the United States and Canadian competent authorities in connection with transfer pricing matters. In connection with these ongoing transfer pricing matters, the Company has income tax-related assets consisting primarily of a long-term receivable for tax refunds, for which the Company has a corollary liability for unrecognized tax benefits, and income tax deposits with Canadian taxing authorities made in 2022 and in the first quarter of 2026.
