INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate on net income from continuing operations was 18.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to 17.1% in the same period last year. The effective tax rates for both periods were largely impacted by the geographic mix of worldwide income and certain discrete items.

The liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $32.2 and $31.6 at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, and is included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2016, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would affect income tax expense if recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements is $29.2. This amount includes interest and penalties of $10.1. It is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will decrease between approximately $3.0 and $24.0 in the next twelve months; however, actual developments in this area could differ from those currently expected.
