| Income Taxes | NOTE 16 - Income Taxes The effective income tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 are as follows:
Our effective income tax rate was 27.0% and 19.4% in the second quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in the effective income tax rate is primarily attributable to the establishment of valuation allowances against certain tax credits. The second quarter 2026 effective income tax rate was higher than the U.S. statutory federal tax rate for this same reason. The second quarter 2025 effective income tax rate was lower than the U.S. statutory federal tax rate primarily due to foreign earnings that are taxed at lower rates.
