16. Income Taxes

The effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% during the three months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013 primarily due to: (a) a partial valuation allowance release related to the U.S. deferred tax assets in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014; (b) income in tax jurisdictions with lower statutory tax rates than the U.S.; (c) tax incentives granted to sites in Brazil, Malaysia, Poland, Singapore and Vietnam; and (d) losses in tax jurisdictions with existing valuation allowances. The material tax incentives expire at various dates through 2020. Such tax incentives are subject to conditions with which we expect to continue to comply.
