Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes consists of U.S. and foreign taxes in amounts necessary to align the Company’s year-to-date provision for income taxes with the effective tax rate that the Company expects to achieve for the full year. The Company’s annual effective tax rate for Fiscal 2014 excluding discrete items is estimated to be 35.17% (which includes U.S., state and local and foreign taxes) based upon the Company’s anticipated earnings both in the U.S. and in its foreign subsidiaries.

For the three months ended November 30, 2013, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $6,409, which consisted of U.S., state and local and foreign taxes, including a discrete benefit of $1,173. The discrete benefit relates to U.S. effects of foreign operations, the tax effects of certain foreign tax matters, the reversal of a state and local uncertain tax position, offset by a provision related to the accrual of interest for uncertain tax positions under ASC 740. For the three months ended November 30, 2012, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $6,258
