Current tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 includes $0.2 million and $0 of foreign withholding tax, respectively.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, our statutory Federal income tax rate of 35.0% increased to the effective income tax rate of 38.8% primarily due to state income taxes.  For the three ended March 31, 2013, our statutory Federal income tax rate of 34.0% increased to the effective income tax rate of 41.4% primarily as a result of increases in taxes in Puerto Rico that will not generate offsetting U.S. income tax credits.
