H.       INCOME TAXES

Effective tax rates differ from statutory federal income tax rates, primarily due to provisions for foreign, state and local income taxes and permanent tax differences. Our effective tax rate was 25.4% in the third quarter of 2020 compared to 23.8% for same period in 2019 and was 25.2% in the first nine months of 2020 compared to 24.0% for the same period in 2019. The increase was primarily due to the foreign tax rate differential on foreign income as well as a variety of other discrete tax items none of which are individually significant.
