Additionally, on February 20, 2026 the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision invalidating tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”). In response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision, new Executive Orders were announced aimed at restructuring U.S. tariff policy and exploring alternative statutory authorities under which to impose or maintain tariffs.

We are evaluating the impact of these developments on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations, however, as of the date of this filing, amounts related to tariff recoveries have not been material.

The United States did not announce plans to enact the tax measures under the two-pillar plan. On January 20, 2025, the Trump administration issued an executive order declaring the Inclusive Framework has no force or effect in the U.S. absent congressional action, and directing the U.S. Department of Treasury to: (i) investigate whether any non-U.S. countries are not in compliance with any U.S. tax treaty or have implemented or are likely to implement tax rules that are extraterritorial or disproportionately affect U.S. companies, which may include actions or taxes imposed under Pillar One or Pillar Two, and (ii) develop options for “protective measures” in response to any such noncompliance or tax rules. On June 28, 2025, the United States and the rest of the G7 countries announced an agreement that would, in principle, exclude U.S. parented groups from certain taxes under Pillar Two and address certain risks of base erosion and profit shifting. In January 2026, the OECD published the “side by side” arrangement package to implement this exclusion. However, we cannot predict whether the United States will adopt any other protective measures including with respect to any taxes imposed under Pillar One, or whether or how any non-U.S. countries may change their tax laws, including with respect to taxes imposed under Pillar One or Pillar Two, in response to the executive order, the “side by side” arrangement described above, or otherwise. It is possible that any changes in United States. or non-U.S. tax law could have a material adverse effect on our future tax liabilities and our effective tax rate.
