Income Taxes:
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was 38.12% compared to the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 of 35.74%. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 is higher than the March 31, 2014 effective tax rate primarily due to favorable state legislative changes recognized in the prior period. The difference between statutory tax rates and the Company’s effective tax rate is primarily attributable to state taxes and nondeductible share appreciation from the ISO 401(k) Savings and Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“KSOP”).
