Note 7 – Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2014 was 33 percent compared with 34 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 quarter of 2014 were reductions related to the U.S. production activities deduction of $1.2 million and decreases in valuation allowances of $0.9 million. These items were partially offset by the provision for state income taxes, net of the federal benefit, of $1.3 million.

For the first quarter of 2013, the difference between the effective tax rate and what would be computed using the U.S. federal statutory tax rate was attributable to reductions for: (i) the U.S. production activities deduction of $1.2 million; (ii) decreases in valuation allowances of $0.5 million; and (iii) the effect of foreign tax rates lower than statutory tax rates and other foreign adjustments of $0.3 million. These items were partially offset by the provision for state income taxes, net of the federal benefit, of $1.1 million.

Total unrecognized tax benefits, including derecognized deferred tax assets, at the end of the first quarter of 2014 were $2.8 million. It is reasonably possible that this amount may decrease by the full amount over the next twelve months, none of which will impact the effective tax rate.

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 and is open for certain state and foreign returns for earlier tax years due to ongoing audits and differing statute periods. The Internal Revenue Service has audited the 2010 federal income tax return, the results of which were immaterial to the consolidated financial statements, and is currently auditing the 2012 federal income tax return. 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.
