Income Taxes Income Taxes:
The effective income tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 was 2.2% compared to 23.9% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023. The three-month period ended March 31, 2024 included the impact of the adoption of a 15% global minimum tax under the Pillar Two Global Anti-Base Erosion Rules (“Pillar Two”) developed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) as part of global tax framework. The Company’s effective income tax rate fluctuates based on, among other factors, the amount and location of income. The lower effective tax rate in the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, was due to lower 2024 earnings in various jurisdictions. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21% and the Company’s effective income tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 was impacted by a variety of factors, primarily the location in which income was earned, including the impact of the OECD Pillar Two minimum tax and the valuation allowance for losses in certain entities in China, the global intangible low-taxed income inclusion, and a reduction to the uncertain tax position recorded in Chile. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21% and the Company’s effective income tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 was impacted by a variety of factors, primarily the location in which income was earned, foreign-derived intangible income and an uncertain tax position recorded in Chile.
