Operating margin increased from 21.0% to 22.2% due to pricing and productivity improvements, favorable volume/product mix, contribution from recent acquisitions, favorable foreign currency exchange rate movements and lower acquisition, integration and restructuring expenses.
The increase in the effective income tax rate compared to 2023 is primarily due to the enactment of global minimum tax in 2024, the unfavorable year over year change in the amounts recognized for uncertain tax positions and the unfavorable mix of income earned in higher tax rate jurisdictions.
