Income Taxes Income Taxes:
The effective income tax rates for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 were (9.4)% and (4.2)%, respectively, compared to 5.4% and 26.7% for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 included the impact of the 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 and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 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 and nine-month periods ended September 30, 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, the valuation allowance for losses in our consolidated Australian entities and certain entities in China, and an 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 and nine-month periods ended September 30, 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. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, the effective tax rate was also impacted by a non-deductible accrual for the agreements in principle to resolve a previously disclosed legal matter with the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”), the SEC, and the Dutch Public Prosecutor (“DPP”).
