During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company’s effective tax rate on its income before taxes was 24.0%. During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company’s effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted primarily by (i) increases to unrecognized tax benefit reserves net of settlements, (ii) U.S. state taxes, and (iii) the mix of income in higher tax jurisdictions.

The Pillar Two rules published by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) are effective for the Company in fiscal year 2025.
