During the three months ended June 30, 2026, income tax expense increased $15.4 million compared to the same period in 2025. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2026, was 22.4% compared to an effective tax rate of (9.7)% for the same period in 2025. The change in the effective tax rate was the result of quarterly tax expense compared to the impact of the income (loss) before income taxes related to the impairments of the indefinite-lived HEYDUDE trademark and HEYDUDE Brand reporting unit goodwill in the three months ended June 30, 2025. As a result of a prior year intra-entity transaction, the value of the intellectual property for tax purposes is subject to revaluation and therefore there are not similar impacts for tax as a result of the intellectual property impairment. Our effective income tax rate, for each period presented, also differs from the federal U.S. statutory rate due to differences in income tax rates between U.S. and foreign jurisdictions.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, income tax expense increased $11.8 million compared to the same period in 2025. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was 22.7% compared to an effective tax rate of (36.3)% for the same period in 2025. The change in the effective tax rate was the result of year-to-date tax expense compared to the impact of the income (loss) before income taxes related to the impairments of the indefinite-lived HEYDUDE trademark and HEYDUDE Brand reporting unit goodwill in the six months ended June 30, 2025. As a result of a prior year intra-entity transaction, the value of the intellectual property for tax purposes is subject to revaluation and therefore there are not similar impacts for tax as a result of the intellectual property impairment. Our effective income tax rate, for each period presented, also differs from the federal U.S. statutory rate due to differences in income tax rates between U.S. and foreign jurisdictions.

Pillar Two Global Minimum Tax

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) has released Pillar Two model rules introducing a 15% global minimum tax rate applied on a country-by-country basis for large multinational corporations. Various jurisdictions we operate in have enacted the legislation. In January 2026, the OECD released additional guidance that excludes U.S. parented companies from most of the scope of Pillar Two taxes, specifically the Income Inclusion Rule and Undertaxed Profits Rule effective as of 2026. We are monitoring continuing development of these laws and the potential impact they will have on our Company. We do not anticipate the Pillar Two rules will have a significant impact on our 2026 consolidated financial statements.

H.R.1 Tax Act Bill

On July 4, 2025, H.R.1. was signed into law, amending and extending several provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Key changes relevant to the Company include the reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation, the deductibility of domestic R&D expenses, and modifications to international provisions. The Company applied the provisions of the new tax law in 2026 and it did not have a significant impact on our 2026 consolidated financial statements.
