Income Taxes
Con-way's effective tax rates for the first quarter of 2015 and 2014 were 40.1% and 32.9%, respectively. The customary relationship between income tax expense and pretax income was affected by discrete adjustments. The effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2015 included discrete tax charges of $0.1 million. The effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2014 included a discrete tax benefit of $1.3 million, which related primarily to the expiration of the statute of limitations on uncertain tax positions.
