RESTRUCTURING AND SEPARATION COSTS. Significant, higher-cost restructuring programs, primarily related to the separations, are excluded from measurement of segment operating performance for internal and external purposes; those excluded amounts are reported in Restructuring and other charges for Corporate. In addition, we incur costs associated with separation activities, which are also excluded from measurement of segment operating performance for internal and external purposes. See Note 19 for further information on restructuring and separation costs.

INTEREST AND OTHER FINANCIAL CHARGES were $0.2 billion and $0.3 billion for both the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The primary components of interest and other financial charges are interest on short- and long-term borrowings.

POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS. Refer to Note 13 for information about our pension and retiree benefit plans.

INCOME TAXES. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the effective income tax rate was 12.6% compared to 12.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The provision for income taxes was $0.3 billion and $0.2 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in the tax provision was primarily due to higher pre-tax income, lower non-taxable gains on our retained and sold ownership interests, and an increase in global minimum tax (Pillar 2), partially offset by tax benefits associated with realized foreign tax credits on the reinsurance transaction (see Note 12), and favorable audit resolutions for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.

2025 1Q FORM 10-Q 7

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the adjusted effective income tax rate* was 17.6% compared to 20.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The adjusted provision (benefit) for income taxes* was $0.3 billion for both the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The change in the tax provision was primarily due to the tax effect of the increase in adjusted net income before taxes* and an increase in global minimum tax (Pillar 2), partially offset by favorable audit resolutions for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.
