INCOME TAXES

The Company's provision for income taxes and effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011 are presented in the following table:

Total Company $ 5.1 32.7% $ 7.9 33.4% $ (2.8) $ 15.4 32.4% $ 23.4 35.6% $ (8.0)

The effective rate for the three and nine months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011 was impacted by a reorganization of the Company's non-U.S. global sourcing subsidiaries.  This reorganization increased the responsibilities and contributions of the non-U.S. subsidiaries, proportionally increasing their income and reducing the income of the U.S. subsidiaries.  As the non-U.S. subsidiaries are generally subject to tax at rates lower than the U.S. subsidiaries, an increase in the proportion of the Company's taxable earnings originating outside the U.S. favorably impacts the effective tax rate.
