  Our effective tax rate was 22% and 23% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, 
  compared to 8% and 10% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The increase in our effective 
  tax rate is primarily due to the impact of releasing the valuation allowance on our U.S. deferred tax assets in the fourth quarter 
  of 2023 and changes in the mix of our jurisdictional earnings. 
  
  Our effective tax rates for the three and nine months of 2024 and 2023 as compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 
  
  21% were primarily impacted by the mix of our jurisdictional earnings subject to different tax rates, valuation allowances on 
  our deferred tax assets and benefits from our U.S. tax credits and the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) manufacturing 
  credits. 
  
  We are subject to tax examinations in the U.S. federal, state and foreign jurisdictions. Given the uncertainty in timing 
  
  and outcome of our tax examinations, an estimate of the range of the reasonably possible change in gross unrecognized tax 
  benefits within twelve months cannot be made at this time.
