INCOME TAXES |
INCOME TAXES | NOTE D — INCOME TAXES The Company’s statutory federal tax rate is 35%. State tax rates vary among states and average approximately 6.0% to 6.5%, although some state rates are higher and a small number of states do not impose an income tax. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was 37.1% and 34.8%, respectively. The tax rates for the three- and six-month periods reflect a 2.4% and 3.8% benefit, respectively, from the reversal of the valuation allowance on foreign tax credit carryovers. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was 38.0%. The effective tax benefit rate for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was 44.8%, reflecting a net 9.2% benefit from the year-to-date 2013 alternative tax credit and the retroactive reinstatement in January 2013 of the 2012 credit that had previously expired on December 31, 2011. The alternative fuel tax credit expired again on December 31, 2013 and will not be available in 2014 unless it is extended by legislative act. In addition to the full reversal of the valuation allowance on foreign tax credit carryovers in the first six months of 2014, the difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate primarily results from state income taxes, nondeductible expenses, changes in the cash surrender value of life insurance, and the effect of future state tax rate changes. As of June 30, 2014, the Company’s deferred tax liabilities which will reverse in future years exceeded the deferred tax assets. The Company evaluated the total deferred tax assets at June 30, 2014 and concluded that, other than for certain deferred tax assets related to foreign net operating loss carryforwards, the assets did not exceed the amount for which realization is more likely than not. In making this determination, the Company considered the future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, taxable income in carryback years, future taxable income, and tax planning strategies. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company received refunds of $2.0 million of federal and state income taxes that were paid in prior years, primarily from loss carrybacks, and the Company paid federal, state and foreign income taxes of $6.0 million.
