 rate on earningswas 23.6% and 26.5% in fiscal year 2025 and 2024, respectively. The lower tax rate in fiscal year 2025 compared to fiscal year 2024 was driven by the divestiture of the Argentina business in the prior year, partially offset by an international legal entity reorganization in the prior year and the divestiture of the Better Health VMS business in the current year.

Diluted net earnings per share (EPS)increased by $4.27, or 190%, in fiscal year 2025, primarily due to the losses on the divestiture of the Argentina business in the prior year, higher volume in the current year, the pension settlement charge in the prior year and cost savings and the benefits of cyberattack insurance recoveries in the current year, partially offset by the loss relating to the divestiture of the Better Health VMS business, unfavorable mix and higher trade promotion spending all in the current year.
