Income Tax Rate Changes

AbbVie Inc. · 2026-08-03 · Importance 40 · Surprise 56 · In source text

The effective tax rate declined to 19% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from 31% in the prior-year period. The quarterly effective tax rate declined to 15% from 39% for the comparable three-month period. The lower rates primarily reflected reduced effects from changes in the fair value of contingent consideration and business development activities. Foreign operations with lower tax rates than the 21% U.S. statutory rate continued to reduce the effective rate, partly offset by contingent consideration and business development effects.
