(1) Determined using an estimated annual effective income tax rate.

The effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 of 29.6% and 76.1%, respectively differed from the U.K. statutory rate of 25.0% primarily due to operating losses in jurisdictions in which we do not receive a tax benefit, foreign rate differential, and the impact of the international provisions of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”).

The effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 of 394.2% and 51.0%, respectively differed from the U.K. statutory rate of 25.0% primarily due to operating losses in jurisdictions in which we do not receive a tax benefit, foreign rate differential, and the impact of the international provisions of the Tax Act.

At September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, we had reserves for uncertain tax positions of $19 million and $17 million, respectively.

At September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, interest and penalties were accrued for uncertain tax positions of $30 million and $27 million,
