INCOME TAXES
In both the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2015, the Company reported pretax income compared to pretax income in the prior year quarter and a pretax loss in the prior year nine-month period.  The Company recognized tax provisions of 34.7% and 36.3% for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared to benefits of 12.2% and 38.0%, respectively, in the comparable prior year periods. 

The current quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2015 included a $250 discrete benefit and $244 discrete provision, respectively. The comparable prior year periods included benefits of $1,860 and $1,540, respectively. In both years, the discrete items arose primarily from the filing of returns, conclusion of tax audits in various jurisdictions and the impact of enacted tax law changes. Excluding discrete items, and for the prior year also excluding the impact from debt extinguishment, the effective tax rates for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2015 were 36.3% and 35.7%, respectively, compared to 36.6% and 36.7%, respectively, in the comparable prior year periods.
