Note 3 — Income Taxes

 

The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company remains subject to examination by U.S. federal and state and foreign tax authorities for the years 2010 through 2013. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to examination by tax authorities for the year 2009 and prior. The consolidated effective tax rates were 27.9% and 28.8% in third quarter 2014 and 2013, respectively, and 32.8% and 28.7% in nine months 2014 and 2013, respectively. The higher effective income tax rate in nine months 2014 reflects the reversal of deferred tax assets of $2,350 in first quarter 2014 relating to the step acquisition of the Spanish companies as discussed in Note 10.
