7.              Income Taxes

 

The effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were 29.8% and 28.8%.  The period over period increase in the effective tax rate was largely due to the favorable resolution of uncertain tax positions for the three months ended June 30, 2012, partially offset by a larger percentage of income from foreign sources in lower tax rate jurisdictions due to the acquisition of Coperion. The effective tax rates for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were 29.1% and 20.5%.  The change in the effective tax rates between these nine-month periods was largely due to the $10.4 reduction of income tax expense in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, attributable to the permanent reinvestment assertion on historical earnings of certain Swiss operations.
