+Added: The total effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was 22 %, compared to 28 % for the comparable period in 2024.
+Added: The decrease in the total effective tax rate primarily resulted from the discrete tax benefits and expenses discussed below.
+Added: During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized a $ 3 million net discrete tax benefit, and during the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized a net discrete tax expense of $ 4 million.

+Added: In 2021, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) announced an Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting including Pillar Two Model Rules (Pillar Two) applicable to large multinational corporations which would establish a global per-country minimum tax of 15%.

+Added: Specifically, the Canadian government enacted legislation in 2024 implementing aspects of the OECD’s minimum tax rules under the Pillar Two framework effective in the 2024 fiscal year and released draft legislation proposed to implement further aspects of the framework effective for the 2025 fiscal year.
+Added: In addition, in 2024, the Brazilian Congress approved legislation implementing a tax measure that took effect in 2025, that is largely aligned with certain aspects of the OECD’s minimum tax rules under the Pillar Two framework.
