Note 5. Income Taxes
 
The effective tax rate decreased for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2018 primarily from increased tax benefits for employee share-based compensation, fewer tax reserves and lower tax costs related to the 2018 spin-offs.
 
The effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily from incremental tax reserves and state taxes, partially offset by foreign earnings taxed at lower foreign tax rates.
