Income Taxes | (9)Income Taxes Interim income taxes are based on an estimated annualized effective tax rate applied to the respective quarterly periods, adjusted for discrete tax items in the period in which they occur. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s provision (benefit) for income taxes, as a percentage of income before income taxes was 40.5 percent and 34.9 percent, respectively, compared with a U.S. federal statutory rate of 35.0 percent. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s provision (benefit) for income taxes, as a percentage of income before income taxes was (12.2) percent and 34.1 percent, respectively, compared with a U.S. federal statutory rate of 35.0 percent. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2014, was primarily attributed to state taxes and an increase in tax liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions, offset by a favorable domestic manufacturing deduction and net favorable foreign items related to tax rate differences and adjustments to foreign valuation allowances. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2013, was primarily attributed to an increase in tax liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions, in addition to net favorable foreign items related to foreign tax rate differences, the impact of unremitted earnings, and adjustments to foreign valuation allowances. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014, was primarily attributed to foreign tax credits arising from intercompany dividends of $21,500 paid by foreign subsidiaries to the U.S. corporation. This discrete item resulted in an income tax benefit of $6,720 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2013, was primarily attributed to an increase in tax liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions, in addition to net favorable foreign items related to foreign tax rate differences, the impact of unremitted earnings, and adjustments to foreign valuation allowances . Changes to the effective rate due to dividends received from foreign subsidiaries, impact of foreign tax credits and the unremitted earnings calculation are expected to be recurring, although it is unlikely that these items will again have an impact as large as what occurred in the six months ended June 30, 2014. Depending on various factors, changes from the foregoing items may be favorable or unfavorable in a particular period. The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for 2009 through 2012 are open to examination for federal tax purposes. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) is currently conducting an audit of the Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for the 2009 through 2011 tax years. The Company has several foreign tax jurisdictions that have open tax years from 2007 through 2013. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had accrued $13,223 of liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits compared with $12,402, as of December 31, 2013. This net increase was primarily attributed to transfer pricing contingencies, including increases in penalties and interest. Although the Company believes its estimates are reasonable, the Company can make no assurance that the final tax outcome of these matters will not be different from that which it has reflected in its historical income tax provisions and accruals. Such differences could have a material impact on the Company’s income tax provision and operating results in the period in which the Company makes such determination.
