Item 1A. Risk Factors

Except as noted below, there have been no material changes to our risk factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2022. For a further discussion of our Risk Factors, refer to the “Risk Factors” discussion contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

We could be subject to changes in tax rates, the adoption of new tax legislation or exposure to additional tax liabilities.

Our future effective tax rate and cash tax obligations could be adversely affected by shifts in our mix of earnings in countries with varying statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets or liabilities or changes in tax laws, regulations, interpretations or accounting principles, as well as certain discrete items. In addition, we are subject to regular review and audit by tax authorities. As a result, we have received, and may in the future receive, assessments in multiple jurisdictions on various tax-related assertions. Any adverse outcome of such a review or audit could have a negative effect on our operating results and financial condition. In addition, the determination of our worldwide provision for income taxes and other tax liabilities requires significant judgment, and there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Although we believe our estimates are reasonable, the ultimate tax outcome may differ from the amounts recorded in our Consolidated Financial Statements and may materially affect our financial results in the period or periods for which such determination is made. Furthermore, due to shifting economic and political conditions, tax policies, laws, interpretations and rates in various jurisdictions may be subject to significant change, which could materially affect our financial position and results of operations. For example, many countries in Europe, as well as a number of other countries and organizations, have recently proposed, recommended or implemented changes to existing tax laws or have enacted new laws that could significantly increase our effective tax rate or cash tax obligations in countries where we do business or require us to change the manner in which we operate our business. Additionally, the European Commission has been investigating whether various tax regimes or private tax rulings provided by a country to particular taxpayer may constitute State Aid. We continue to examine the impact the above items may have on our business and the amount of tax we must pay.

The implementation of global tax reforms could negatively impact our financial results.

In recent years, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) has led international efforts to implement various international tax reforms, including the introduction of a global minimum effective corporate tax (“GMT”) rate of 15%, applied on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. Over 130 countries agreed to the general framework of the GMT rules and approximately 50 countries are currently proposing to implement core elements of the GMT rules. Further, on December 15, 2022, the European Union adopted a Council Directive which requires GMT rules to be transposed into member states’ national laws starting in 2024.

On October 19 2023, Ireland, the location of our incorporation, issued draft legislation for the transposition of GMT rules into Irish law. We are currently assessing the impact of the draft legislation, which may change before official promulgation into Irish law. Further, we anticipate the continued and ongoing release of OECD GMT interpretive guidance. We expect our effective income tax rate will increase beginning in 2024, but given the draft nature of the legislation and expected additional legislation, we are unable to quantify the significance of the impact at this time. However, the overall impact of GMT to our effective tax rate, financial position, results of operations and cash flows could be material.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

(1) In June 2023, our Board of Directors reauthorized the Company’s ordinary existing share repurchase program and, as a result, authorized the repurchase of up to $500.0 million of the Company’s ordinary shares under the program. The share repurchase program does not have a prescribed expiration date. Share repurchases may be made from time-to-time in open market, accelerated stock repurchase or privately negotiated transactions, including pursuant to one or more Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The timing and manner of any share repurchase and the actual number of ordinary shares repurchased will be determined at the discretion of management based on a variety of factors, including, among others, the Company’s stock price, corporate and regulatory requirements, and other general market and economic conditions.
