Note 9 – Income Taxes



The interim provision for income taxes is different from the amount determined by applying the U.S. federal statutory rate to consolidated income before taxes.  The differences are attributable to foreign tax rate differential, unrecognized tax benefits, and foreign tax credits. Our effective tax rate was 33.2% and 27.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The change between 2019 and 2018 is primarily related to decrease in benefits from foreign tax credits and increase in valuation allowance related to our foreign operation.
