 On July 4, 2025, The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, or the OBBBA, was enacted in the United States and made a number of changes to the U.S. federal income tax law. Among other things, the OBBBA restored deductions for U.S. research and development expenditures (while continuing to require taxpayers to capitalize and amortize foreign research and development expenditures), changed the calculation and deductibility of global intangible low-taxed income (renamed Net CFC Tested Income) and foreign derived intangibles income (renamed Foreign-Derived Deduction Eligible Income) for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025, and changed the calculation of deductible business interest expense to include depreciation and amortization. We are continuing to analyze the potential impact of the OBBBA on our operations, business and financial performance; however, these provisions may cause our cash taxes and effective tax rate to fluctuate.

In addition, global tax developments applicable to multinational businesses continue to evolve and create uncertainty for us. For example, in 2022 the United States enacted an alternative minimum tax for companies with modified GAAP net income in excess of $1 billion. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (the “OECD”) also has proposals regarding the implementation of global minimum tax of at least 15% for multinationals with global revenue exceeding certain thresholds, known as “Pillar Two.” Although these rules are not currently applicable to us, we operate in participating countries that have implemented or are expected to implement these rules. On June 28, 2025, however, the G7 released a joint Statement on Global Minimum Tax, announcing an understanding regarding a proposed “side-by-side” solution that would exempt U.S. multinational businesses from some of the Pillar Two rules (including the 15% global minimum tax). The OECD released a draft proposal, dated August 13, 2025, to exclude U.S. multinational companies from certain minimum tax enforcement measures; however, no agreement has yet been reached. We continue to evaluate the impact of these tax developments and those under other OECD and non-U.S. rules as new guidance and regulations are published and such becomes applicable. Changes to these and other areas in relation to international tax reform, including future actions taken by foreign governments could increase uncertainty and may adversely affect our tax rate and operating results in future years.

We may have additional tax liabilities, which could harm our business, results of operations or financial condition.
