(1)Primarily related to the impact of state apportionment changes in each year.
(2)The impact for 2024, 2023 and 2022 reflects non-deductible compensation costs.
(3)For the year ended December 31, 2023, the impact was primarily due to higher non-U.S. pre-tax income. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the impact was primarily the effect of lower consolidated pre-tax loss, compared to the prior year.
(4)Primarily due to a reduction to the Global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") inclusion in the U.S. due to an election allowing for the exclusion of certain income.
