For the quarter ended March 30, 2019, the Company recorded income tax expense of $37,018 on earnings before income taxes of $158,593 for an effective tax rate of 23.3%, as compared to an income tax expense of $47,632 on earnings before income taxes of $256,873, for an effective tax rate of 18.5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The difference in the effective tax rates for the comparative periods was caused by the geographic dispersion of profits and losses for the respective periods; the elimination of an annual tax benefit in Italy; and a discrete stock expense.
