Income Taxes
The Company’s 2014 income tax rate for the three months ended March 30, 2014 was 35.0% compared to 33.8% for the same period last year. The Company's 2014 first quarter effective tax rate does not include benefits from U.S. Federal Research and Development tax credits due to the expiration of law. The 2013 effective tax rate included U.S. Federal Research and Development tax credits for the years 2012 and 2013 due to the timing of the enactment of the American Taxpayer Relief Act.
