INCOME TAXES
The provision for taxes is based upon using the Company's estimated annual effective tax rate of 22% and 24% for the three month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. The reduction in the Company's estimated annual effective tax rate from 24% to 22%, as well as the Company's reported tax rate of 19% during the three months ending March 31, 2017, is primarily related to the Company's adoption of ASU 2016-09 pertaining to excess tax benefits associated with stock option exercises. The Company's 2017 estimated annual tax rate of 22% includes an estimated benefit of 2% related to the adoption of ASU 2016-09, the effects of which will be treated discretely each quarter.
