17. Income Taxes

The effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% during the three months and nine months ended May 31, 2015 and 2014 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) losses in tax jurisdictions with existing valuation allowances; (d) a tax benefit from revaluing deferred tax assets related to the enactment of the Mexico 2014 tax reform in the second quarter of fiscal year 2014; and (e) a partial valuation allowance release related to the U.S. deferred tax assets in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014. 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.
