Taxes on income from continuing operations

	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2019	April 1, 2018
Effective income tax rate	20.7%	10.2%

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and April 1, 2018 was 20.7% and 10.2%, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to the prior year period, reflects the impact of non-deductible termination benefits incurred in connection with the 2019 Footprint realignment plan. In addition, the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and April 1, 2018 include the benefit of a lower U.S. corporate income tax rate of 21.0% resulting from the enactment of the TCJA, partially offset by tax costs associated with the global intangible low income provisions of the TCJA, which require the Company to include in its U.S. income tax return foreign subsidiary earnings in excess of an allowable return on the foreign subsidiary's intangible assets, and other TCJA-related changes.
