Income Taxes INCOME TAXES
We recorded an income tax provision of $121 million and $109 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which was calculated using the annual effective tax rate method.

Our effective tax rate was 15.3% and 11.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our effective tax rate increased between the comparable periods primarily due to a decrease in the ratio of our pre-tax income attributable to CQP, which is partially not taxable to us, as well as the tax impact from recording a valuation allowance on a capital loss carryover generated on the sale of all of our equity interests in an equity method investment during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The effective tax rate for the comparable three month periods was lower than the statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to CQP’s income that is partially not taxable to us.
