Our effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the majority of our income being earned outside the U.S. where tax rates are generally lower than the U.S. rate. Our quarterly and year to date effective tax rates were lower than the prior year primarily due to lapping the unfavorable impact of the $68 million non-cash refranchising loss (See Note 4) with no associated tax benefit related to the decision to dispose of our real estate in Mexico, lapping the unfavorable impact of resolution of uncertain tax positions in certain jurisdictions, and the benefit associated with a prior year income tax return amendment, partially offset by the increased cost of repatriating current year foreign earnings.
