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 2013 through 2014. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to examination by tax authorities for the year 2012 and prior. The consolidated effective tax rates were 30.5% and 32.3% in first quarter 2016 and 2015, respectively. The lower effective tax rate in first quarter 2016 compared to first quarter 2015 reflects the effective settlement of certain income tax audits during first quarter 2016.
