Income Taxes

K. Income Taxes – The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2012 and 2011 was 216.7% (provision on a loss) and 26.3% (provision on income), respectively.

The rate for the 2012 second quarter differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to an $8 discrete income tax charge related to prior year U.S. taxes on certain depletable assets and a net $2 discrete income tax charge for other miscellaneous items.

The rate for the 2011 second quarter differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to foreign income taxed in lower rate jurisdictions.

The effective tax rate for the 2012 and 2011 six-month periods was 39.4% (provision on income) and 26.9% (provision on income), respectively.

The rate for the 2012 six-month period differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the previously mentioned discrete income tax charges, partially offset by foreign income taxed in lower rate jurisdictions.

The rate for the 2011 six-month period differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to foreign income taxed in lower rate jurisdictions.
