NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES

Our provision for income taxes as a percentage of pretax earnings (“effective tax rate”) is based on a current estimate of the annual effective income tax rate adjusted to reflect the impact of discrete items.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the effective tax rate for continuing operations was 36.9 percent and 38.0 percent, respectively. The rate for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was favorably impacted by deductions related to domestic production activities, offset by separate tax filing entities in a loss position for which a full valuation allowance will be accounted for against the losses, causing no tax benefit to be recognized on the losses. The rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was favorably impacted by deductions related to domestic production activities as well as a benefit for a cancelled put option related to our Redeemable Preferred Stock. See Note 5, Fair Value Measurements, “Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis,” for more information on the put option. The favorability was offset by a non-deductible permanent item related to our secondary offering during the second quarter as well as separate tax filing entities in a loss position for which a full valuation allowance will be accounted for against the losses, causing no tax benefit to be recognized on the losses.
