| INCOME TAXES | INCOME TAXES Provision for income taxes for interim periods are calculated using an estimate of the annual effective income tax rate for the full year to be applied to the respective interim period, taking into account year-to-date results and projected full year results as well as separate consideration for the effect of significant, infrequent or unusual items. Estimating 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 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. Changes in any of these estimates could have a material impact on the Company’s provision for income taxes. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the effective tax rate was 26% compared to 20% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate primarily relates to the jurisdictional mix of earnings and effects of cross-border transactions in preparation for the Distribution. In July 2025, Public Law 119-21, commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), was enacted in the United States. The OBBBA introduces several significant changes, including the permanent extension and modification of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions taking effect in tax year 2025 and others phased in through 2027. There were no material impacts of this legislation on the Company's Condensed Combined Financial Statements to date; however, management will continue to evaluate the full impact of these legislative changes as more guidance becomes available. The Company is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) for the years 2014 through 2020. In May 2026, the Company received draft notices of proposed adjustment (“NOPA”) from the IRS for the years 2019 and 2020, which relate primarily to tax method changes, net operating loss carryback claims, and Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax (BEAT) liability on sales-based royalties. The Company disagrees with the draft NOPAs and has informed the IRS audit team of its intent to contest the draft NOPAs.
