During the three months ended June 30, 2026, following the enactment of California Senate Bill 122 (SB 122) into law and based on the relevant weight of positive and negative evidence, including the consideration of our expected California tax liabilities, we concluded that it is more likely than not that our California deferred tax assets, other than research and development tax credits, are realizable. Accordingly, we released the valuation allowance related to these California deferred tax assets. The release of this valuation allowance and an immaterial accrual of pillar two tax resulted in a $274 million income tax benefit that was included in our provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.
Our effective tax rate was 15% and 22% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to 23% and 25% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The decreases in our effective tax rates were primarily due to the release of the valuation allowance on our California deferred tax assets other than research and development tax credits and changes in the mix of our jurisdictional earnings, partially offset by the non-deductibility of stock-based compensation expense related to the 2025 CEO Performance Award.
Our effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 as compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% were primarily impacted by changes in the valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets, the mix of our jurisdictional earnings subject to different tax rates, tax deduction limitations on executive compensation expense, and benefits from our U.S. research and development credits and manufacturing production credits.
