The difference between the effective tax rate quarter over quarter was primarily attributable to discrete expense items related to certain non-deductible costs, UK tax rate changes and stock options, offset by a beneficial mix of earnings between taxing jurisdictions and higher research and development tax credits in 2013 versus 2014 due, in part, to the expiration of the U.S. research credit at the end of 2013. The rate for 2014 included discrete expense items related to certain non-deductible acquisition costs. The effective income tax rate for continuing operations was 26.8% and 42.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The difference between the effective tax rate year over year was primarily attributable to discrete expense items related to certain non-deductible costs, UK tax rate changes and stock options, offset by a beneficial mix of earnings between taxing jurisdictions and higher research and development tax credits in 2013 versus 2014 due, in part, to the expiration of the U.S. research credit at the end of 2013.
