Note 8 – Income Taxes

The Company's effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2012 and 2011 was 36 percent and 33 percent, respectively. The Company's effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2012 was 31 percent compared with 33 percent for the same period last year. Factors that explain the difference between the effective tax rate and what would be computed using the U.S. federal statutory tax rate for the first nine months of 2012 were reductions related to: (i) the effect of foreign tax rates lower than statutory tax rates and other foreign items of $3.7 million; (ii) decreases in unrecognized tax benefits of $1.3 million; (iii) decreases in valuation allowances of $0.5 million; and (iv) the U.S. production activities deduction of $2.2 million. These items were partially offset by the provision for state income taxes, net of the federal benefit, of $2.7 million.

Due to ongoing federal and state income tax audits and potential lapses of the statutes of limitations in various taxing jurisdictions, it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits may decrease in the next twelve months by up to $0.6 million. Net of any federal benefit, the total unrecognized tax benefits including derecognized deferred tax assets at the end of the third quarter were $3.2 million, including $0.1 million of accrued interest and penalties. Of the $3.2 million, up to $0.4 million could impact the effective tax rate, if recognized.

The Company files a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return and numerous consolidated and separate-company income tax returns in many state, local, and foreign jurisdictions. The statute of limitations is open for the Company's federal tax return and most state income tax returns for 2009 and all subsequent years. The Internal Revenue Service has completed its examination of the 2009 and 2010 consolidated U.S. federal income tax returns with no material adjustments. The statutes of limitations for certain state and foreign returns are open for earlier tax years due to ongoing audits and differing statute periods. While the Company believes that it is adequately reserved for possible future audit adjustments, the final resolution of these examinations cannot be determined with certainty and could result in final settlements that differ from current estimates.
