Income Taxes

The Company's effective tax rate from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2013 was 40.6% compared with 15.7% in the first nine months of 2012 and 13.5% for the full year 2012 and includes the impact of $16,389 of tax expense related to the April 16, 2013 U.S. Tax Court Decision (see Note 13 of the Consolidated Financial Statements). Excluding the impact of the U.S. Tax Court Decision, the Company's effective tax rate from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2013 was 19.6%. The remaining increase in the first nine months of 2013 effective tax rate from the full year 2012 rate is due to the absence of the 2012 reversal of certain foreign valuation allowances and tax rate decreases in certain foreign jurisdictions, the increase in the Company's Swedish effective tax rate and the projected change in the mix of earnings attributable to higher-taxing jurisdictions or jurisdictions where losses cannot be benefited in 2013. The Aerospace segment was previously awarded international tax incentives, none of which are scheduled to expire in 2013.
