The Company's forecasted effective tax rate at March 31, 2014 is 35.0%, a 1.7% increase from the 33.3% effective tax rate recorded at December 31, 2013. The forecasted effective tax rate of 35.0% excludes jurisdictions for which no benefit from forecasted current year losses is anticipated. Including losses from such jurisdictions results in a forecasted effective tax rate of 43.2%. Our forecasted effective tax rate could fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis and could change, to the extent that earnings in countries with tax rates that differ from that of the U.S. differ, from amounts anticipated at March 31, 2014.

After discrete benefit of $82, the effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 is 41.9%. The discrete benefit is primarily attributable to tax benefits of share-based compensation.
