Excluding the net impact of acquisition-related expenses incurred in the first quarter of 2016, the effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2016 was 26.5%. The Company operates in the U.S. and numerous foreign taxable jurisdictions, and at any point in time has numerous audits underway at various stages of completion. With few exceptions, the Company is subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for the years 2011 and after. The Company is generally not able to precisely estimate the ultimate settlement amounts or timing until the close of an audit. The Company evaluates its tax positions and establishes liabilities for uncertain tax positions that may be challenged by local authorities and may not be fully sustained, despite the Company’s belief that the underlying tax positions are fully supportable. As of March 31, 2016, the amount of the liability for unrecognized tax benefits which if recognized would impact the effective tax rate, was approximately $129.1, which is included in Accrued pension benefit obligations and other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Unrecognized tax benefits are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are adjusted for changing facts and circumstances, including progress of tax audits and the closing of statutes of limitation. Based on information currently available, management anticipates that over the next twelve month period, audit activity could be completed and statutes of limitation may close relating to existing unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $2.2.
