INCOME TAXES
The Provision for income taxes and effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were $17.5 million and 35.0%, compared to $24.9 million and 35.9%, for the three months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the comparable prior year period is primarily attributable to a lower U.S. state effective tax rate, partially offset by the geographical mix of income which negatively impacted the effective tax rate for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2013. The negative rate impact from the geographical mix of income was driven by a decrease in the percentage of lower taxed non-U.S. earnings as a percentage of total Earnings before income taxes when compared to the comparable prior year period.
