Effective tax rate		59.8	%		54.2	%		79.4	%		62.5	%

The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2016 and the first six months of 2016 was higher than the comparable periods of 2015 primarily due to negative tax impacts resulting from the separation of AFI, most notably the revaluation of state deferred tax assets and liabilities and, for the first six months of 2016, an increase in non-deductible costs resulting from the separation.

We do not expect to record any material changes during 2016 to unrecognized tax benefits that were claimed on tax returns covering tax years ending on or before December 31, 2015.

As of June 30, 2015, we consider foreign unremitted earnings to be permanently reinvested.
