The effective income tax rate is based upon estimated income for the year, the estimated composition of the income in different jurisdictions and discrete adjustments, if any, in the applicable quarterly periods, including retroactive changes in tax legislation, settlements of tax audits or assessments, the resolution or identification of tax position uncertainties, and acquisitions of other companies. The discrete items include the tax effect of the reinstatement of the federal research and development credit at the beginning of 2013, which was retroactive to 2012, certain stock options and interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the effective income tax rate was lower than the federal statutory tax rate mainly due to the composition of income in foreign jurisdictions that is taxed at lower rates compared to the statutory tax rates in the United States, as well as the reinstatement of the federal research and development credit at the beginning of 2013 which was retroactive to 2012. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the effective income tax rate was higher than the federal statutory tax rate mainly due to the effects of accounting for stock-based compensation in accordance with the authoritative guidance for share-based payments, and state income tax expense.
