Note 5—Taxes on Income

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was 37.2% and (31.1)%, respectively. The provision for taxes on income of $39.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased from $8.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to higher income before income taxes, changes in geographic earnings mix and changes in losses in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions for which tax benefits cannot be realized. The provision for taxes on income was $12.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 versus a benefit of $6.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The change was primarily due to lower loss before income taxes, changes in geographic earnings mix and changes in losses in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions for which tax benefits cannot be realized.
