 The net change was primarily due to the impact from a $57.0 million increase to our valuation allowance, goodwill impairment not deductible for tax purposes, and mix of earnings in the current period. 

Prior to the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 ("Tax Act"), the Company asserted that substantially all of the undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries were considered indefinitely reinvested and accordingly, no deferred taxes were provided. Due to the Tax Act, the Company has significant previously taxed earnings and profits from its foreign subsidiaries, as a result of transition tax, that it is generally able to be repatriated free of U.S. federal tax. In addition, future earnings of foreign subsidiaries are generally expected to be able to be repatriated free of U.S. federal income tax because these earnings were taxed in the U.S. under the GILTI regime or would be eligible for a 100% dividends received deduction.

There were no material income tax penalties or interest accrued during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 or 2024.Many jurisdictions in which the Company operates have implemented Pillar Two legislation, and others are considering implementation of Pillar Two rules. While such new rules introduce complexity into the Company’s calculation of income tax expense, Pillar Two does not have a material impact as of the third quarter of 2025.  Due to the novelty and complexity of Pillar
