The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2016 is a benefit of 34.8%.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 is a benefit of 103.0%. Such rate differed from the Federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily due to a $98 million income tax benefit related to resolution of a prior-year tax matter.
