NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES

Total income tax expense was $233 million and $605 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. Our effective tax rate on income before income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was 38.7% and 36.2%, respectively. Our effective tax rates are higher than the U.S. statutory income tax rate of 35% primarily due to the third quarter 2014 charge of $58 million associated with the restructuring of our North Africa business and other losses where there is no tax benefit.
