The Company's effective tax rate from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2016 was 20.3% compared with 26.2% for the prior year quarter. The lower effective tax rate in 2016 is the result of two events: first, an increase in the jurisdictional mix of income where more income is being taxed outside of the U.S. at lower tax rates than in the prior year quarter, and second, a larger discrete tax benefit for 2016
related to the retroactive reinstatement of the research and development (“R&D”) credit in the U.S.
 
The Company's effective tax rate from continuing operations for the six months ended December 31, 2015 was 25.3% compared with 27.5% for the prior year. The lower effective tax rate for the year to date is due to the same jurisdictional mix of income and the R&D tax credit.
 
During the quarter ended December 31, 2015, the Company increased its uncertain tax positions related to a bargain-sale of property to a charitable organization.  The impact of this position has been included in the Company’s annual effective tax rate calculation.
