Income Taxes	NOTE N – INCOME TAXES The Company’s effective tax rate was 29% and (15%) for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 26% and 14% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The higher effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to an increase in earnings in jurisdictions with higher tax rates than the U.S. federal statutory rate where such earnings are permanently reinvested and an increase in various U.S. permanent items, primarily limitations on the deductibility of executive compensation. The lower effective tax rate for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to the recognition of benefits related to the Tax Act for discrete items related to the Deemed Repatriation Transition Tax (“Transition Tax”).
