Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 was 10.6% and 15.6%, respectively. In the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, the effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, largely due to the favorable impact of research and development credits and tax deductions for foreign-derived intangible income.

Our effective tax rate for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 was 14.8% and 16.2%, respectively. In the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, the effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, largely due to the favorable impact of research and development credits and tax deductions for foreign derived intangible income. In the third quarter of 2022, these benefits were partially offset by a $13 million provision for withholding taxes due to the planned repatriation of cash related to a non-U.S. jurisdiction.
