The Company’s consolidated tax rates on income from continuing operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were 38.0% and 39.0%, respectively.

The impact of significant discrete items is separately recognized in the quarter(s) in which they occur.
As of March 31, 2014, the Company had $12.7 million of current deferred tax assets, net, and $154.2 million of long-term deferred tax liabilities, net.
