Taxes on Income
The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was 34.2% and 42.6%, respectively. The provision for taxes on income of $130.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased from $89.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011, 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 are not realized. The provision for taxes on income of $225.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased from $102.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, 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 are not realized.
