NOTE 5: INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate on continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was 23.3 percent compared to 30.0 percent for the same period of 2010. The 6.7 percentage point decrease is due mainly to various discrete items in the periods.
The effective tax rate on continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was 32.7 percent compared to 29.2 percent for the same period of 2010. The 3.5 percentage point increase is due mainly to operating losses in certain Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) jurisdictions for which no tax benefit is recognized, partially offset by various discrete items in the periods.
