Income Tax Rate Changes

ROCKWELL AUTOMATION, INC · 2026-11-12 · Importance 25 · Surprise 32

Rockwell’s fiscal 2026 effective tax rate declined to 16.5% from 18.3% in fiscal 2025. The decrease reflected the absence of certain Sensia-related tax impacts from 2025 and higher discrete tax benefits in 2026, including a benefit from the Sensia dissolution, partly offset by BEPS Pillar Two minimum taxes. The adjusted effective tax rate increased to 19.6% from 17.1%, primarily because of Pillar Two minimum taxes, partly offset by higher discrete tax benefits.
