Income Taxes
The effective tax rate was 20.0 percent on the loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 58.1 percent on the income for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease in the tax rate is mainly due to differences in the mix of income, discrete tax items resulting from Venezuela (note 1), and the release of a valuation allowance during the three-month period ended March 31, 2015. Additionally, in the first quarter of 2014, discrete tax expense was recorded on the repatriation of certain foreign earnings.
