The difference in the Company’s effective tax rate was primarily related to tax benefits from stock vesting of $1.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 compared to $0.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, and a more favorable mix of income in lower taxed jurisdictions during the first quarter of 2017.
