Note 8 – Income Taxes

Prior to our separation from PEI Group and IPO, our U.S. operations were included in the U.S. federal consolidated and certain state and local tax returns filed by PEI Group.  We also file certain separate U.S. state and local and foreign income tax returns. For the periods prior to separation, income tax (expense) benefit and deferred tax balances are presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements as if we filed tax returns on a stand-alone basis. Upon separation from PEI Group, becoming a separate taxable entity and the change from carve-out financial statements to consolidated financial statements, we have remeasured certain deferred taxes. These adjustments have been recognized directly in equity.

Our income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 incorporated an expected annualized effective tax rate of approximately 24.5%, excluding the impact of discrete items. Our income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 included an incremental discrete expense of $23 million due to the remeasurement of our deferred tax asset associated with the deductibility of interest expense as a result of the enactment, subsequent to our separation from PEI Group, of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act on March 27, 2020. As a result of our inclusion in PEI Group’s U.S. federal consolidated and certain state and local tax returns prior to our IPO, the completion of PEI Group’s tax returns for the year ended December 31, 2020 may result in changes to deferred taxes we recognized as of February 4, 2020.  Any future changes in these deferred taxes may impact our reported tax expense in a future period.
