The 2023 rate was 107.3% excluding the impact of goodwill impairment, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring, litigation reserve releases and certain discrete tax items. The rate was anomalous due to small adjusted pre-tax loss and tax which is a result of geographic mix of income and valuation allowances against losses in certain jurisdictions resulting in no tax benefit.

The Company continues to monitor legislative developments, as well as additional guidance from countries that have enacted legislation.
