INCOME TAXES

The Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual income and statutory tax rates in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates, to determine its quarterly provision for income taxes. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rates from quarter to quarter. The Company’s effective tax rate may change from period to period based on recurring and non-recurring factors including the geographical mix of earnings, enacted tax legislation, state and local income taxes and tax audit settlements.

The effective income tax rate from continuing operations was 30.5% and 35.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and 29.5% and 31.9% for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 was favorably impacted by the geographical mix of earnings and a reduction in the statutory tax rate in the United Kingdom enacted in the second quarter of fiscal 2016. Such reduction resulted in a decrease to the carrying value of net deferred tax liabilities of $4,436 which favorably impacted the effective tax rate partially offset by an unfavorable settlement of a tax claim of $1,151 in the United Kingdom relating to a prior acquisition. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 was favorably impacted by the non-taxable gain recorded on the pre-existing ownership interests in HPPC and Empire of $8,256.
