Income Taxes

The effective tax rate on the income from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was (4.0) percent compared to 25.2 percent on the loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The significant decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily attributable to the nontaxable $36.5 mark-to-market gain on foreign currency option contracts related to the potential Wincor Nixdorf Aktiengesellschaft (Wincor Nixdorf) acquisition (the Acquisition) and the decrease in the deferred tax liability associated with the Company's undistributed foreign subsidiary earnings. This decrease was offset by discrete tax benefits that were recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2015, which benefits were primarily related to the Venezuela divestiture and the release of a valuation allowance.
