Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which provides for expanded disclosures primarily related to income taxes paid and the rate reconciliation. The amendments are effective prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows, other than additional disclosure requirements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This standard requires all public companies to disclose more detailed information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to the financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows, and is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles- Goodwill and Other- Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The amendments in this Update remove all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages (referred to as “project stages”) throughout Subtopic 350-40. Therefore, an entity is required to start capitalizing software costs when certain capitalization criteria are met. The ASU also supersede guidance on website development costs. The amendments are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows, and the impact of adopting this standard on its disclosures.

- Segment Information
The Company is organized geographically into three operating segments: i) Americas and Asia-Pacific, ii) United Kingdom and Ireland, and iii) Continental Europe. The Company’s operating results are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The CODM is our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who assesses the Company’s performance and allocates resources. In the third quarter of 2025, the Company appointed Patrick Kelleher as its new CEO.
The CODM evaluates the Company’s performance and allocates resources primarily based on adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for transaction and integration costs, restructuring costs and other, regulatory matters and litigation expenses, and unrealized gain/loss on foreign currency contracts (“Adjusted EBITDA”). The CODM uses Adjusted EBITDA to communicate performance targets to the segment managers, allocate resources to the segments, and to monitor segment performance. Additionally, the CODM considers the performance of this measure against planned and forecasted amounts to make investing and resource allocation decisions. The actual results are used in assessing performance of the Company and in establishing management’s compensation. For disclosure purposes, we aggregate these three operating segments intoone reportable segment. The Company’s segment results were as follows:

Stock Repurchase Plan
On February 18, 2025, the Company’s board of directors authorized and announced the repurchase of up to $500 million (the “Repurchase Plan”) of its common stock. The Repurchase Plan permits shares of common stock to be repurchased from time to time in management’s discretion, through a variety of methods, including a 10b5-1 trading plan, open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.

- Employee Benefit Plans
Defined Benefit Plans
The Company offers pension plans in certain jurisdictions, with the most significant in the U.K. In the U.K., the Company sponsors two defined benefit pension schemes (the “U.K. Retirement Plans”). The U.K. Retirement Plans do not allow for new plan participants or additional benefit accruals. The funded status of the U.K. Retirement Plans was recorded in Other long-term assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company considers its other defined benefit pension plans not material to its Consolidated Financial Statements and excludes them from the disclosure below.
Components of the net periodic benefit income recognized under the U.K. Retirement Plans were as follows:
| Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||

(1) Net periodic pension income was recorded in Other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Defined Contribution Plans
Also, the Company has defined-contribution retirement plans for its United States employees and employees of certain foreign subsidiaries. In these plans, employees are allowed to contribute a portion of their salaries and bonuses to the plans, and the Company matches a portion of the employee contributions.
Defined contribution plan costs were as follows:
| Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (In millions) | 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 |
| Defined contribution costs(1) | $28 | $27 | $82 | $65 |
(1) Defined contribution plan costs were primarily recorded in Direct operating expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
- Restructuring Costs and Other
Restructuring costs and other were primarily related to severance paid to the Company’s executive team, as well as actions taken to optimize certain administrative functions.
The following table summarizes changes in the restructuring liability, which is included in Accrued expenses and Other long-term liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
| (In millions) | |
|---|---|
| Balance as of December 31, 2024 | $10 |
| Charges incurred | 22 |
| Payments | (11) |
| Other reductions, net | (3) |
| Balance as of September 30, 2025 | $18 |
As of September 30, 2025, $15 million of the restructuring liability is expected to be paid in the next 12 months.
- Income Taxes
Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, was $28 million and $7 million, respectively, and the Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, was 31.2%, and 16.5%, respectively. The change in the Company’s effective tax rate was primarily driven by a jurisdictional shift in pre-tax income.
Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, was $45 million and $11 million, respectively, and the Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, was 118.1% and 21.9%, respectively. The change in the Company’s effective tax rate was primarily driven by a non-deductible regulatory matter in 2025.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law. The legislation includes reinstatement of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions including 100% bonus depreciation for qualified property placed in service after January 19, 2025, immediate expensing of domestic research and experimental costs, and revisions to the business interest expense limitations. The Company is evaluating the full effects of the legislation on its financial statements. The Company anticipates potential cash tax savings with an immaterial impact on its effective tax rate.
In 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) issued administrative guidance for the Pillar Two Global Anti-Base Erosion rules (“Pillar Two”), which generally imposes a 15% global minimum tax on multinational companies. The Company has incorporated the estimated annual effect of Pillar Two into its income tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and the Company expects to incur additional income tax related to Pillar Two during fiscal 2025. For the three and the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Pillar Two did not have a material impact on the Company’s income tax expense. The Company continues to monitor Pillar Two developments, including the impact of the statement issued by the Group of Seven (“G7”) on June 28, 2025 regarding the interplay between the U.S. international tax system and Pillar Two as it relates to U.S.-headquartered companies.
- Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is involved, and will continue to be involved, in numerous legal proceedings arising from the conduct of its business. These proceedings may include personal injury claims arising from the transportation and handling of goods, contractual disputes and employment-related claims, including alleged violations of wage and hour laws.
The Company establishes accruals for specific legal proceedings when it is considered probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company reviews and adjusts accruals for loss contingencies quarterly and as additional information becomes available. If a loss is not both probable and reasonably estimable, or if an exposure to a loss exists in excess of the amount accrued, the Company assesses whether there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional loss, may have been incurred. If there is a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional loss, may have been incurred, the Company discloses the estimate of the possible loss or range of loss if it is material and an estimate can be made, or discloses that such an estimate cannot be made. The determination as to whether a loss can reasonably be considered to be possible or probable is based on management’s assessment, together with legal counsel, regarding the ultimate outcome of the matter.
Management of the Company believes that it has adequately accrued for the potential impact of loss contingencies that are probable and reasonably estimable. Management of the Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of any matters to which the Company is presently a party will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Legal costs related to these matters are expensed as they are incurred.
The Company carries liability and excess umbrella insurance policies that are deemed sufficient to cover potential legal claims arising in the normal course of conducting its operations. In the event the Company is required to satisfy a legal claim outside the scope of the coverage provided by insurance, its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be negatively impacted.
On July 2, 2024, the Italian authorities initiated an investigation into the deductibility of value-added tax (VAT) payments made by the Company to certain third-party service providers. The challenged amount was €84 million ($91 million as of March 31, 2025), which the Company deposited into a restricted bank account to secure the investigation. In the first quarter of 2025, the Company accrued €61 million ($66 million) of expense, including legal fees, related to this matter. In the second quarter of 2025, the Company agreed and made final payments of €59 million ($68 million) to the Italian authorities and released any remaining restrictions on this cash account. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded zero and $65 million, respectively, of expenses, including legal fees, related to this matter, which was recorded within the Regulatory matter and litigation expense line in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
