These items were partially offset by reductions related to: (i) the effect of foreign tax rates lower than statutory tax rates and other foreign items of $1.1 million; (ii) decreases in valuation allowances of $0.4 million; and (iii) the U.S. production activities deduction of $3.9 million.

Note 8 – Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2013 was 40 percent compared with 36 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 third quarter of 2013 were increases related to: (i) the impairment of goodwill of $1.8 million; (ii) increases in the valuation allowance of $1.0 million; (iii) the provision for state income taxes, net of federal benefit of $1.2 million; and (iv) the effect of foreign adjustments of $0.4 million. These items were partially offset by the U.S. production activities deduction of $1.0 million.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2013 was 37 percent compared with 31 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 were increases related to: (i) goodwill impairment of $1.8 million and (ii) the provision for state income taxes, net of the federal benefit, of $7.4 million. These items were partially offset by reductions related to: (i) the effect of foreign tax rates lower than statutory tax rates and other foreign items of $1.1 million; (ii) decreases in valuation allowances of $0.4 million; and (iii) the U.S. production activities deduction of $3.9 million.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2012 was 36 percent and for the first nine months of 2012 was 31 percent. 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.

Total unrecognized tax benefits, including derecognized deferred tax assets, at the end of the third quarter were $2.8 million, none of which would 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 2010 and all subsequent years. The Internal Revenue Service has audited the Company’s 2009 and 2010 consolidated U.S. federal income tax returns, the results of which were immaterial to the consolidated financial statements. The statutes of limitations for certain state and foreign returns are open for earlier tax years due to ongoing audits and differing statute periods.
