INCOME TAXES
The Company's effective income tax rates were 78.1% and 37.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  Generally, the effective tax rates differ from statutory rates due to the impact of the domestic production activities deduction, research and development credits if enacted, the impact of state taxes and income generated in jurisdictions that have a different tax rate than the U.S. statutory rate. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2015 is higher than the effective rate for the three months ended September 30, 2014 primarily related to a decrease in profit before taxes due to Transaction related expenses recorded in the quarter and a change in the jurisdictional mix of earnings resulting from the Transaction.
Our effective tax rates were 99.0% and 39.6% for the six months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The effective tax rate is higher than the comparable period in the prior year primarily due to the decrease in profit before taxes due to Transaction related expenses recorded in the first six months of Fiscal 2016 and a change in the jurisdictional mix of earnings resulting from the Transaction.
