Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2026, decreased to 20.6% compared to 22.8% in the same period of 2025 (22.1% year to date compared to 22.4% in 2025). The year-over-year decrease in our effective tax rate in the quarter and year-to-date periods was driven by favorable tax impacts related to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA"), creditable foreign taxes in the U.S. and discrete tax items, partially offset by the 2025 benefit from a nonrecurring valuation allowance release discussed below.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we released $18 million of the valuation allowance on our capital loss carryforward, including an $8 million benefit recognized during the second quarter of 2025.
