(11) Income Taxes

 

The Company recognized a provision for income taxes of $1,019, or 19.2% and $1,218 or 17.5% of income before income taxes, for federal, state and foreign income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the same period for 2012 was attributable to the change in the mix of earnings between U.S. and foreign operations, primarily a decline in the performance of our U.S. operations, which due to a full valuation allowance, negatively impacted the effective tax rate.
