Income Taxes Income Taxes
For interim periods, income tax is equal to the total of (1) year-to-date pretax income multiplied by the forecasted effective tax rate plus (2) tax expense items specific to the period. In situations where we expect to report losses and where we do not expect to receive tax benefits, we apply separate forecasted effective tax rates to those jurisdictions rather than including them in the consolidated forecasted effective tax rate.
For the three months ended April 4, 2026 and March 29, 2025, net tax expense was $17 million and $9 million, respectively. Net tax expense or benefit consists primarily of interim period tax expense based on year-to-date pretax income multiplied by our forecasted effective tax rate. In addition to items specific to the period, our income tax rate is impacted by the mix of earnings across the jurisdictions in which we operate, non-deductible expenses, and U.S. taxation of foreign earnings. Cash paid for taxes, net of refunds was $19 million and $21 million for the three months ended April 4, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. It includes a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting businesses, including extending and modifying certain key Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provisions (both U.S. and non-U.S.). The tax effects of the OBBBA have been reflected in our financial results for the period ended April 4, 2026, with no material impact to the effective tax rate. We continue to assess the overall impact of potential changes as developments occur, consistent with our practice of monitoring all tax law changes.
