Income Taxes
Third quarter 2013 results included a benefit for income taxes of $8.5 million, or 24.1% of loss before tax, compared to a provision of $14.8 million, or 30.8% of income before tax, for the comparable period. The third quarter of 2013 included a lower than normal tax benefit due to the impacts of income taxes reported in both domestic and foreign jurisdictions.
For the first nine months of 2013, the benefit for income taxes was $4.4 million, or 31.4% of loss before tax, compared to a provision of $66.6 million, or 32.1% of income before tax, for the nine months of 2012. The first nine months of 2013 included a discrete tax benefit of $6.7 million, primarily associated with adjustments to prior years’ taxes and 2013 Federal tax law changes. The first nine months of 2012 included a discrete tax benefit of $4.2 million primarily related to state income taxes.
