The Company accounts for its Provision for income taxes by applying an estimate of the annual effective income tax rate for the full year to the respective interim period, taking into account year-to-date amounts and projected results for the full year. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company's effective income tax rate was 19.1% and 20.4%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to excess tax benefits from employee share-based payments, a non-taxable adjustment for contingent consideration, and earnings in non-U.S. jurisdictions, which, in aggregate have a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by U.S. state and local taxes. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to excess tax benefits from employee share-based payments and earnings in non-U.S. jurisdictions, which in aggregate, have a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by U.S. state and local taxes.
Total unrecognized tax benefits for June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were $82.4 million and $86.5 million, respectively. Although management believes its tax positions and related provisions reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are fully supportable, it recognizes that these tax positions and related provisions may be challenged by various tax authorities. These tax positions and related provisions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are adjusted as additional facts and information become available, including progress on tax audits, changes in interpretations of tax laws, developments in case law and closing of statute of limitations. To the extent that the ultimate results differ from the original or adjusted estimates of the Company, the effect will be recorded in Provision for income taxes.
The Provision for income taxes involves a significant amount of management judgment regarding interpretation of relevant facts and laws in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Future changes in applicable laws, projected levels of taxable income and tax planning could change the effective income tax rate and tax balances recorded by the Company. In addition, tax authorities periodically review income tax returns filed by the Company and can raise issues regarding its filing positions, timing and amount of income or deductions, and the allocation of income among the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. A significant period of time may elapse between the filing of an income tax return and the ultimate resolution of an issue raised by a revenue authority with respect to that return. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Mexico, Singapore, Spain, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States. These examinations on their own, or any subsequent litigation related to the examinations, may result in additional income taxes or penalties against the Company. If the ultimate result of these audits differ from original or adjusted estimates, they could have a material impact on the Company's income tax provision. The examination of the Company's U.S. federal income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has been concluded for tax years 2016 to 2019; substantially all of the Company's U.S. federal tax returns are effectively settled for tax years prior to 2021. In general, the examination of the Company's material non-U.S. income tax returns is complete or effectively settled for the years prior to 2013, with certain matters prior to 2013 being resolved through appeals and litigation and also unilateral procedures as provided for under double tax treaties.
