NOTE 5 – INCOME TAXES

The tax provision for interim periods is determined using the estimated annual effective consolidated tax rate, based on the current estimate of full-year earnings and related estimated full year-taxes, adjusted for the impact of discrete quarterly items.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, was 29.2% and 30.0%. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily due to a larger tax benefit from employee share-based compensation offset in part by a mix of other discrete items.
