The decrease was primarily due to the partial repayment of debt in the prior year and the opportunistic repricing of our 2028 term loan in the first quarter of 2025, partially offset by the Company's hedges.

Other (Income) Expense, net

Under the terms of the TSA as described in Note 4 "Discontinued Operations" within the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company is providing technology infrastructure, risk and security, and various other corporate services to the Divested Business subsequent to the close.

Income tax benefit was $204 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to an income tax benefit of $34 million for the prior year period.

The effective tax rate of 17% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was lower than the 21% U.S. statutory corporate income tax rate primarily due
