Income Taxes INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rates were 24.5% and 18.7% in the three and
nine months 2026 and 16.5% and 14.7% in the three and nine
months 2025. The effective tax rate for the three months 2026
increased from the three months 2025 due to the 2026 non-
deductible goodwill impairment. The effective tax rate for the nine
months 2026 increased from the nine months 2025 due to the
2026 non-deductible goodwill impairment and the 2025 tax
benefit related to the sale of the Spinal Implants business. The
effective tax rates for the three and nine months 2026 and 2025
reflect the continued lower effective income tax rates as a result
of our European operations and certain discrete tax items.
