| Income Taxes | 8. Income Taxes The Company calculates its interim tax provision using the estimated annual effective tax rate (“EAETR”) methodology in accordance with ASC 740-270. The EAETR is applied to the year-to-date ordinary income, exclusive of discrete items. The tax effects of discrete items are then included to arrive at the total reported interim tax provision. The determination of the EAETR is based upon a number of estimates, including the estimated annual pretax ordinary income or loss in each tax jurisdiction in which the Company operates. The tax effects of discrete items are recognized in the tax provision in the quarter they occur, in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Depending on various factors, such as the item’s significance in relation to total income and the rate of tax applicable in the jurisdiction to which it relates, discrete items in any quarter can materially impact the reported effective tax rate. The Company’s annual effective tax rate may be affected by the mix of earnings in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, and factors such as changes in tax laws, tax rates or regulations, changes in business, changing interpretation of existing tax laws or regulations and the finalization of tax audits and reviews, as well as other factors. As such, there can be significant volatility in interim tax provisions. The annual effective tax rate differs from the statutory U.S. Federal tax rate of 21%, primarily because of varying non-U.S. tax rates and the impact of the U.S. valuation allowance. The Company is currently under income tax examination in various tax jurisdictions in which it operates, including Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Germany, Indonesia, Italy, Peru, and the U.S. The years under examination range from 2004 through 2023. The Company has received tax assessments in excess of established reserves. The Company is contesting these tax assessments, and will continue to do so, including pursuing all available remedies, such as appeals and litigation, if necessary. The Company believes that adequate provisions for all income tax uncertainties have been made. However, if tax assessments are settled against the Company at amounts in excess of established reserves, it could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Due to uncertainties regarding the ultimate resolution of income tax examinations, the Company is not able to reasonably estimate any tax assessments that may be settled at amounts in excess of established reserves in future periods, or the future periods in which any income tax payments to settle these provisions for income tax uncertainties. On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was enacted into law in the U.S. The OBBBA includes the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business deductions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025. The Company is currently assessing its impact on its consolidated financial statements.
