INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rates in the three months 2016 and 2015 were 16.4% and 40.6%. The decrease in our effective tax rate was primarily due to favorable audit settlements in 2016 and certain discrete items in 2015 related to the establishment of our European regional headquarters. In 2015 we retrospectively adopted ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes that amends the balance sheet classification of deferred taxes.
