INCOME TAXES. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the effective income tax rate was 13.7% compared to 10.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The provision for income taxes was $0.3 billion and $0.2 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in the tax provision was primarily due to higher net income before taxes, a decrease in tax benefits associated with separation activities, an increase in global minimum taxes (Pillar 2), and lower non-taxable gains on our retained and sold ownership interests, partially offset by higher tax benefits on global activities (reduced for the impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA)) and an increase in business tax credits.

The tax provision was flat, primarily due to higher adjusted net income before taxes* offset by higher tax benefit on global activities (reduced for the impact of the OBBBA) and an increase of business tax credits.

The provision for income taxes was $1.0 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and $0.6 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in the tax provision was primarily due to higher net income before taxes, a decrease in tax benefits associated with separation activities,
