INCOME TAXES

In both the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company reported pretax income, and recognized tax provisions of 35.4% and 36.2% for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, compared to 34.7% and 36.3%, respectively, in the comparable prior year periods. 

The quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2016 included $775 and $1,132, of discrete tax benefits, respectively, resulting primarily from the release of unrecognized tax benefits and the retroactive extension of the federal R&D credit signed into law December 18, 2015. The comparable prior year periods ended June 30, 2015 included a $250 discrete tax benefit and $244 discrete provision, respectively, primarily resulting from taxes on repatriation of foreign earnings, partially offset by the benefit of the retroactive extension of the federal R&D credit signed into law December 19, 2014 and release of a valuation allowance. Excluding restructuring and discrete items, the effective tax rates for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2016 were 37.5% and 37.9%, respectively, compared to 36.3% and 35.7%, respectively, in the comparable prior year periods.
