INCOME TAXES
The Provision for income taxes and effective tax rates for the three and six months ended December 31, 2014 were $16.9 million and 32.8%, and $34.4 million and 33.9%, compared to $15.1 million and 35.4%, and $40.0 million and 35.7% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rates for the three and six months ended December 31, 2014 when compared to the comparable prior year periods is primarily attributable to the recognition of U.S. federal research and development tax credits based on the December 2014 legislative reinstatement of this credit for calendar year 2014 and a lower U.S. state effective rate, partially offset by the geographical mix of income which negatively impacted the effective tax rate for both the three and six months ended December 31, 2014 as compared to the three and six months ended December 31, 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 periods.
