INCOME TAXES
Our provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 reflected effective tax rates of 42.2% and 35.0%, respectively. The year-over-year increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the increased impact of losses in jurisdictions with a full valuation allowance and unfavorable changes in forecasted earnings mix, offset in part by a recognized tax benefit related to the release of a valuation allowance previously recorded against certain deferred tax assets in Brazil. Our effective tax rate can fluctuate depending on our country mix of earnings, since our foreign earnings are generally subject to higher tax rates than in the United Kingdom.
