Income Taxes
The Company's effective income tax rates for income from continuing operations were 30.4% and 31.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were lower than the U.S federal income tax rate of 35% due to the recurring impact of foreign operations, partially offset by state income taxes. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was further reduced due to the settlement of unrecognized tax positions.
