 appropriate or that our intercompany transactions should be characterized differently than we have characterized them. Changes in tax laws, treaties or regulations impacting our business, and their interpretation and enforcement, have become more unpredictable in recent years and could result in unexpected and unfavorable outcomes. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, effective tax rate and financial condition.

We are subject to examination of our income tax returns by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and tax authorities around the world, notably in India where we have substantial operations. Tax authorities have disagreed in the past, and may in the future disagree, with our tax positions, and particularly in India are increasingly taking aggressive stances opposing the tax positions we take, including with respect to our intercompany transactions. Negative outcomes from those examinations or any appeals therefrom may adversely affect our provision for income taxes and tax liability, and the amounts we are ultimately required to pay could be materially different from the amounts we anticipated, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, effective tax rate and financial condition. 

We are currently subject to several tax audits by the Indian tax authorities (“ITA”) related to intercompany transactions that occurred in 2009 and 2015. In each of 2014, 2019, 2022 and 2023, the ITA issued assessment orders seeking to impose tax on us in relation to such transactions. We have received demands for potential tax claims related to these orders in an aggregate amount of $128 million (converted from Indian rupees and including interest through the date of the orders). We do not believe that any of the transactions giving rise to these demands were subject to tax in India under applicable law. To date, we have received favorable orders from appellate judicial authorities in India relating to $22 million of the $128 million demanded in the assessment orders, and we continue to defend against the remaining $106 million in demands. Additionally, in the first quarter of 2023, the ITA issued an assessment order seeking to impose tax on us of $832 million (converted from Indian rupees and including interest through the date of the order) in relation to a 2015 internal restructuring transaction involving our Indian subsidiaries. In March 2023, the tax appellate authority in India struck down this order, and the ITA then appealed the appellate authority’s ruling to the Delhi High Court. In December 2024, the High Court dismissed the ITA’s appeal, upholding the appellate authority’s ruling in
