11. Income Taxes


The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2012 was 22.6% compared to an effective tax rate of 19.7% in the third quarter of 2011.  The current quarter effective tax rate is below the statutory tax rate primarily due to the result of more income earned in low tax jurisdictions and favorable tax return to tax provision adjustments.
