Income Taxes Income Taxes
We manage our affairs so that we are centrally managed and controlled in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) and therefore have our tax residency in the U.K. The provision for income taxes consists of provisions for the U.K. and international income taxes. We operate in an international environment with operations in various locations outside the U.K. Accordingly, the consolidated income tax rate is a composite rate reflecting the earnings in the various locations and the applicable rates.
The effective income tax rate for the First Quarter ended March 29, 2020, was 21.5%, compared to negative 131.3% for the First Quarter ended March 31, 2019. The 2019 rate was affected by the impact of non-deductible expenses related to the aborted acquisition of Neo Performance Materials and restructuring activities. The tax rate in any quarter can be affected positively or negatively by adjustments that are required to be reported in the specific quarter of resolution.
