Income Taxes

The Corporation's income tax provision for the three months ended October 3, 2015 was $18.6 million on pre-tax income of $59.5 million or an effective tax rate of 31.3% compared to an income tax provision of $17.4 million on pre-tax income of $50.9 million, or an effective tax rate of 34.1% for the three months ended September 27, 2014. Our effective tax rate was lower in the three months ended October 3, 2015 principally due to a change in estimate for the U.S. Manufacturing Deduction and foreign taxes. 
The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended October 3, 2015 reflects an effective tax rate of 33.8% compared to 33.9% for the same period last year.
