INCOME TAXES
The Company’s worldwide effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was 21.3% and 19.5%, respectively, and 20.4% and 19.5% during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The primary factors that caused an increase in the Company’s worldwide effective tax rate are the subtle changes in the geographic mix of the current year earnings towards countries with higher statutory rates (U.S., U.K. Germany and Canada) and also the mix of new tax jurisdictions from business acquired during 2014 in the US, western Europe and Asia.
