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 23.3% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to 24.7% for same period in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to an anticipated decrease in our U.S. tax rate and a variety of other discrete tax items, none of which are individually significant.
