The effective rates for income taxes were 36.4% and 37.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was lower than the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 primarily due to state tax credits received and included in the Company’s 2012 annual effective rate.
