Income Taxes	9.Income Taxes Our effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2016 and 2015 was 62.9 percent and 35.2 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 and 2015 was -15.5 percent and 30.2 percent, respectively. Effective tax rates differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35.0 percent primarily due to state and foreign income taxes and the tax benefit from the Internal Revenue Code Section 199 deduction for domestic production activities. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2016 was significantly impacted by reduced earnings before taxes, in conjunction with a December 2015 tax law change which resulted in a reduction of the fiscal 2015 Internal Revenue Code Section 199 deduction for domestic production activities. For the next 12 months, we cannot predict with certainty whether we will achieve ultimate resolution of any uncertain tax positions associated with our U.S. and international operations that could result in increases or decreases of our unrecognized tax benefits. However, we do not expect the increases or decreases to have a material effect on results of operations or financial position.
