Income Taxes 

The effective income tax rate related to continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was (54.7)% and 80.4%, respectively, compared with 29.6% and 30.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The effective income tax rate related to continuing operations and income tax expense from continuing operations changed primarily due to the change in income (loss) from continuing operations and changes in losses generated in certain jurisdictions where no tax benefit can be recognized for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared with the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

An income tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, based on technical merits, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes. The unrecognized income tax benefit at June 30, 2014 was $18.5 million, including interest and penalties.  Within the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that up to $0.7 million of unrecognized income tax benefits will be recognized upon settlement of tax examinations and the expiration of various statutes of limitations.

The U.S. Internal Revenue Service completed its audit of the Company's 2010 income tax return in July 2014 and made no changes to the reported tax.
