Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate can vary considerably from period to period, depending on a number of factors. The Company’s consolidated effective tax rate from continuing operations was 23.1% for the second quarter of 2013, compared to 40.6% for the second quarter of 2012 and 36.4% for the first half of 2013 as compared to 39.8% in the first half of 2012. The decrease in the Company’s effective tax rate this quarter and the first half of 2013 reflects a higher anticipated mix of international earnings in lower tax jurisdictions.
