Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The provision for income taxes consists of provisions for federal, state, and non-U.S. income taxes. We operate in an international environment; accordingly, the consolidated effective tax rate is a composite rate reflecting the earnings in various locations and the applicable tax rates. Additionally, the calculation of the percentage point impact of goodwill impairment and other items on the effective tax rate is affected by income/(loss) before income taxes. Further, small movements in tax rates due to a change in tax law or a change in tax rates that cause us to revalue our deferred tax balances produce volatility in our effective tax rate. Our quarterly income tax provision is determined based on our estimated full year effective tax rate, adjusted for tax attributable to infrequent or unusual items, which are recognized on a discrete period basis in the income tax provision for the period in which they occur. Our estimated annual effective tax rate was 26.0% as of September 27, 2025, and 20.5% as of September 28, 2024. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the changes made to our corporate entity structure in December 2024 in conjunction with the Pillar Two legislative developments made under the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). See our consolidated financial statements and related notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2024 for additional information on this change to our corporate entity structure. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 27, 2025 was an expense of 24.0% on pre-tax income, which was favorably impacted by certain discrete deferred tax adjustments, changes in estimates of certain 2024 U.S. income and deductions and the geographic mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 28, 2024 was an expense of 2.5% on pre-tax loss, which included the net unfavorable effective tax rate impact of goodwill and intangible asset impairment losses of 22.9%. In addition to the impact of these non-cash impairment losses, our effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted by the establishment of valuation allowances in certain foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by the favorable changes in estimates of certain 2023 U.S. income and deductions and the geographic mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. jurisdictions. The year-over-year change in the effective tax rate for the three-month period was primarily driven by the impact of non-deductible goodwill impairments and a less favorable geographic mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. jurisdictions primarily due to the changes made to our corporate entity structure in December 2024. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 27, 2025 was an expense of 2.4% on pre-tax loss, which included the net unfavorable effective tax rate impact of non-deductible goodwill impairments of 24.8%. In addition to the impact of these non-cash impairment losses, our effective tax rate was favorably impacted by the geographic mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 28, 2024 was an expense of 43.9% on pre-tax income, which included the net unfavorable effective tax rate impact of goodwill and intangible asset impairment losses of 21.5%. In addition to the impact of these non-cash impairment losses, our effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted by certain net discrete items including the establishment of valuation allowances in certain foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by the favorable geographic mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. jurisdictions. The year-over-year change in the effective tax rate for the nine month period was primarily due to the impact of non-deductible goodwill impairments, and a less favorable geographic mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. jurisdictions. Other Income Tax Matters: We are currently under examination for income taxes by the IRS for the years 2018 through 2022. In the third quarter of 2023, we received two Notices of Proposed Adjustment (the “NOPAs”) relating to transfer pricing with our foreign subsidiaries for the years 2018 and 2019. The NOPAs propose an increase to our U.S. taxable income that could result in additional U.S. federal income tax expense and liability of approximately $200 million for 2018 and approximately $210 million for 2019, excluding interest, and assert penalties of approximately $85 million for each of 2018 and 2019. In the third quarter of 2025, we received a NOPA for the years 2020 through 2022 that could result in additional U.S. federal income tax expense and liability of approximately $200 million for 2020, $210 million for 2021, and $200 million for 2022, excluding interest and penalties for each year. We expect to receive a NOPA in the fourth quarter of 2025 asserting penalties for these periods similar to the amounts asserted for the years 2018 and 2019. We strongly disagree with the IRS’s positions, believe that our tax positions are well documented and properly supported, and intend to vigorously contest the positions taken by the IRS and pursue all available administrative and judicial remedies. Therefore, we have not recorded any reserves related to this issue. We continue to maintain the same operating model and transfer pricing methodology with our foreign subsidiaries that was in place for the years 2018 through 2022. We believe our income tax reserves are appropriate for all open tax years and that final adjudication of this matter will not have a material impact on our results of operations and cash flows. However, the ultimate outcome of this matter is uncertain, and if we are required to pay the IRS additional U.S. taxes, interest, and/or potential penalties, our results of operations and cash flows could be materially affected.
