The lower effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the prior year, was primarily due to the impact of the $3,645.7 million partial goodwill impairment, which a portion of the goodwill was not deductible for tax purposes. The decrease was also due to the cycling of a $16.4 million valuation allowance which was recorded on deferred tax assets in the third quarter of 2024 as a result of the divestment of certain of our U.S. craft businesses and generated a capital loss for U.S. tax purposes, as well as the cycling of a $45.8 million increase in the mandatorily redeemable NCI liability of CBPL to the final redemption value, which was recorded to interest expense in the third quarter of 2024 and was non-deductible for tax purposes.
Our effective tax rate can be volatile and may change with, among other things, the amount and source of pretax income or loss, our ability to utilize foreign tax credits, excess tax benefits or deficiencies from share-based compensation, changes in tax laws and the movement of liabilities established pursuant to accounting guidance for uncertain tax positions as statutes of limitations expire, positions are effectively settled, or when additional information becomes available. There are proposed or pending tax law changes in various jurisdictions and other changes to regulatory environments in countries in which we do business that, if enacted, could have an impact on our effective tax rate.
On July 4, 2025, the OBBBA was enacted into law in the U.S. The OBBBA includes various provisions which permanently extend certain expiring provisions from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, many of which have different effective dates. Changes in the OBBBA include the accelerated tax recovery for certain capital investments and research and development expenditures, and changes to the business interest expense limitation. Additionally, the OBBBA includes changes to the taxation of foreign income for U.S.-domiciled businesses. While the OBBBA did not materially affect our effective tax rate for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2025, it reduced our cash tax payments by approximately $60 million through the third quarter of 2025.
