INCOME TAXES | INCOME TAXES The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was 21.3% versus 35.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024 was 21.3% and 34.9%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was lower than the same periods in 2024 due to the tax effects associated with the divestiture of the industrial motors and generators businesses during 2024. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $4.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would impact the effective income tax rate if recognized. Potential interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in income tax expense. The Company had $0.7 million and $0.7 million of accrued interest as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company conducts business globally and, as a result, files income tax returns in the US federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. The US Internal Revenue Service is currently conducting an audit of the Company's 2022 income tax return. No material deficiencies have been assessed related to ongoing audits as of June 30, 2025. On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was signed into U.S. law, which contains a broad range of tax reform provisions, including domestic research and development cost expensing, extension of 100% bonus depreciation, limitations on interest expense deductions and revisions to international tax regimes. The Company is currently evaluating the financial impacts of the OBBBA and will reflect its effects beginning in the third quarter of 2025. We do not currently anticipate a material effect on our annual effective tax rate or cash flows as a result of this legislation.
