The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2015 is due primarily to larger tax reserve releases in the current year caused by the expiration of various statutes, as well as interest related to the 5.50% Senior Notes during the current period. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 is due primarily to lower domestic earnings resulting from the interest expense on the 5.50% Senior Notes and the favorable closure of a tax audit in the current year.
