Income Taxes	Note 3 — Income Taxes The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company remains subject to examination by U.S. federal and state and foreign tax authorities for the years 2015 through 2017. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to examination by tax authorities for the year 2014 and prior. The consolidated effective tax rates were 21.5% and 31.0% in third quarter 2018 and 2017, respectively, and 22.1% and 29.8% in nine months 2018 and 2017, respectively. The lower effective tax rate in third quarter and nine months 2018 compared to third quarter and nine months 2017 principally reflects the lower U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% effective for 2018. The Company believes it has obtained and analyzed all reasonably available information necessary to record the effects of the change in tax law and considers its accounting for the effects of the 2017 Tax Reform Act to be provisional as of September 30, 2018. The ultimate impact may differ from these provisional amounts, possibly materially, due to, among other things, additional regulatory guidance that may be issued by the Internal Revenue Service, and actions the Company may take as a result of the Tax Reform Act.
