Income Tax Rate Changes

Veralto Corp · 2026-10-29 · Importance 53 · Surprise 82

Third-quarter income tax expense fell to $20 million from $67 million a year earlier, while pretax earnings decreased to $273 million from $306 million. A $38 million discrete tax adjustment increased adjusted net earnings, and a $39 million reduction in a tax indemnification liability was recorded in the quarter. The release attributes discrete tax matters to prior-period uncertain tax positions, the indemnification reduction, audit settlements and excess stock-based compensation tax benefits.
