Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016, was 10.9%, or an expense of $5.0 million, as compared to an effective tax rate of 15.1%, or an expense of $4.8 million, for the corresponding prior year period. Our tax rate differs from the statutory rate of 35.0% due to the effects of permanent items, deferred tax expense on tax amortization of indefinite-lived intangible assets, state taxes, and a reserve for unrecognized tax benefits. Our state tax provision represents taxes in the jurisdictions of Indiana and Louisiana as well as the city jurisdictions in Missouri, where we have no valuation allowance.
