Our effective tax rate decreased to 26.6 percent for the 2026 second quarter compared to 27.6 percent for the 2025 second quarter, primarily due to lower tax on non-U.S. income.
Our effective tax rate increased to 25.7 percent for the 2026 first half compared to 21.4 percent for the 2025 first half, primarily due to the prior year release of tax reserves, partially offset by lower tax on non-U.S. income.
We paid cash for income taxes, net of refunds, of $350 million in the 2026 first half and $534 million in the 2025 first half.
