The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 reflects income tax benefits associated with the Strategic Divestitures restructuring plan and the VI Business integration plan. Additionally, the effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 reflects a net cost related to share-based compensation. The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 29, 2025 reflects a non-taxable favorable adjustment incurred in relation to foreign currency exchange rates, largely stemming from non-designated foreign currency forward contracts designed to hedge against the cash consideration for the VI Business acquisition. The effective income tax rates for all periods reflect a tax benefit from research and development tax credits.
A significant number of jurisdictions, including EU member states, have enacted legislation to establish a 15% global minimum tax in accordance with both the established Pillar Two framework and guidance subsequently published by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (the "OECD"). On January 5, 2026, the OECD/G20 released the Side-by-Side package ("SbS"), implemented as administrative guidance and modifying the operation of Pillar Two rules. The SbS package introduces simplifications and new safe harbors for U.S. and other
multinational companies where domestic and international tax systems meet robust requirements to coexist with Pillar Two. Such safe harbor would fully exempt U.S.-parented groups from the application of two of the three Pillar Two top up taxes.
The SbS package is expected to be available for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2026. However, the safe harbors are not self‑executing and require domestic legislation by each Inclusive Framework member, subject to local legislative processes and timelines, as well as potential European Union ("EU") guidance related to the EU Minimum Tax Directive. The SbS package did not have a material impact on our results of operations during the first six months of 2026. We continue to monitor ongoing developments and assess the potential impact of the SbS package on our 2026 results of operations and future cash tax obligations.
The SbS package also extends the current Transitional Country-by-Country Reporting (CbCR) Safe Harbor by one year, through the end of fiscal year 2027.
