Income Taxes

 

In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, the principal method established for computing the provision for income taxes in interim periods requires the use of estimates related to the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full year. The estimated effective tax rate is then applied to the interim consolidated pre-tax operating income to determine the interim provision for income taxes.

 

The effective tax rate, which is the provision for income taxes as a percentage of income before income taxes, was 20.70% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 20.06% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
