Income Taxes

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded a total income tax provision of $167 million on a pre-tax income of $783 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 21.3% for the quarter. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a total income tax provision of $114 million on a pre-tax income of $231 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 49.3% for the quarter. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was lower than the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to the impact on our effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2022 of the decision to sell our Russian operations and a corresponding increase in the valuation allowance on foreign tax credits.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded a total income tax provision of $341 million on a pre-tax income of $1.6 billion, resulting in an effective tax rate of 21.1% for the period. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a total income tax provision of $182 million on a pre-tax income of $563 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 32.2% for the period. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was lower than the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to the impact on our effective tax rate for the first six months of 2022 of the decision to sell our Russian operations and a corresponding increase in the valuation allowance on foreign tax credits.
