At the end of each interim period, the Company estimates  the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year.  The estimate reflects, among other items, management’s best estimate of operating results.  It does not include the estimated impact of foreign exchange rates or unusual and/or infrequent items, which may cause significant variations in the customary relationship between income tax expense and income before income taxes.



The Company’s consolidated effective tax rate in respect of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was 329.4% and 31.3%, respectively (2015: 26.8% and 27.5%).
