7. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s worldwide effective tax rate was 15.2% and 15.7%, and 6.8% and 14.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase in the Company’s worldwide effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2012 and nine months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to the same periods of 2011, was primarily due to (a) the movement of a portion of the Company’s pre-tax income from countries with lower statutory tax rates such as Belarus and Hungary; and (b) the increase in certain unfavorable permanent tax differences in high-taxed jurisdictions in 2012.
