Income Taxes

Note H: Income Taxes

The current quarter’s effective tax rate is 34.7% of pretax income compared to 35.4% for the prior year quarter. For the current six-month period, the effective tax rate is 34.3% compared to 35.5% in the prior six-month period. The decrease in effective tax rates is primarily due to the recognition of state net operating losses, as well as an increase in foreign tax credits on overseas earnings.
