14. Income Taxes

The effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35.0% during the three months and nine months ended May 31, 2013 and 2012 primarily due to: (a) income in tax jurisdictions with lower statutory tax rates than the U.S., (b) tax incentives granted to sites in Brazil, Malaysia, Poland, Singapore and Vietnam, (c) income and losses in tax jurisdictions with existing valuation allowances and (d) the reversal of an existing valuation allowance during the third quarter of fiscal year 2013. The material tax incentives expire at various dates through 2020. Such tax incentives are subject to conditions with which the Company expects to continue to comply.
