Income Taxes
Note 5—Income Taxes
The Company’s provision or benefit from income taxes in interim periods is determined using an estimate of the annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if its estimated tax rate changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment. The estimate of the annual effective income tax rate for the full year is applied to the respective interim period, taking into account year-to-date amounts and projected results for the full year.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 17.1% representing a provision for income taxes from continuing operations recorded on net income from continuing operations before taxes. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was favorably impacted by foreign operations taxed at a lower rate.
Although management believes its tax positions and related provisions reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements are fully supportable, it recognizes that these tax positions and related provisions may be challenged by various tax authorities. These tax positions and related provisions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are adjusted as additional facts and information become available, including progress on tax audits, changes in interpretation of tax laws, developments in case law and closing of statute of limitations. To the extent that the ultimate results differ from the original or adjusted estimates of the Company, the effect will be recorded in the provision for income taxes.
A significant period of time may elapse between the filing of an income tax return and the ultimate resolution of an issue raised by a revenue authority with respect to that return. Any adjustments as a result of any examination may result in additional taxes and/or penalties against the Company. If the ultimate result of these audits differ from original or adjusted estimates, they could have a material impact on the Company’s tax provision.
The amount of unrecognized tax benefits included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets increased $3.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026, from $55.7 million as of December 31, 2025 to $59.5 million as of June 30, 2026. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate is $55.3 million as of June 30, 2026. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits relating to the Company’s tax positions is subject to change based on future events including, but not limited to, the settlements of ongoing audits and/or the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations.
The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded interest and penalties of $2.7 million as a component of income tax expense, which increased the cumulative balance from $9.8 million as of December 31, 2025 to $12.5 million as of June 30, 2026.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. OBBBA includes significant corporate tax changes, including a restoration of the current deductibility for domestic research expenditures beginning in 2025, with transition options for previously capitalized amounts. OBBBA also includes changes to certain U.S. international provisions beginning in 2026. While certain provisions of OBBBA may favorably change the timing of cash tax payments in the near term, the Company does not expect the legislation to have a material impact on the provision for income taxes.
