The higher effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to prior year, was primarily due to the $3,645.7 million partial goodwill impairment recorded in the third quarter of 2025, a portion of which was not deductible for tax purposes.
Our effective tax rate can be volatile and may change with, among other things, the amount and source of pretax income or loss, our ability to utilize foreign tax credits, excess tax benefits or deficiencies from share-based compensation, changes in tax laws and the movement of liabilities established pursuant to accounting guidance for uncertain tax positions as statutes of limitations expire, positions are effectively settled, or when additional information becomes available. There are proposed or pending tax law changes in various jurisdictions and other changes to regulatory environments in countries in which we do business that, if enacted, could have an impact on our effective tax rate.
