Income Taxes Income Taxes
Our provision for income taxes and effective tax rate are affected by the geographical composition of pre-tax income which includes jurisdictions with differing tax rates, conditional reduced tax rates and other income tax incentives. It is also affected by events that vary from period to period, such as changes in income tax laws and the resolution of prior years’ income tax filings.
Our effective tax rates for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 and 2025 were 13.0 percent and 8.0 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was higher compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, primarily due to a reduction of unrecognized tax benefits related to foreign operations as a result of the lapse of statutes of limitations in fiscal 2025.
Our effective tax rates for the first six months of fiscal 2026 and 2025 were 13.0 percent and 25.2 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate for the first six months of fiscal 2026 was lower than the same period in the prior fiscal year, primarily due to a remeasurement of deferred tax assets resulting from new tax incentive agreements in Singapore, partially offset by a reduction of unrecognized tax benefits related to foreign operations as a result of the lapse of statutes of limitations in fiscal 2025.
