The effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were 25.8% and 29.8%. The decrease in the effective tax rate during the three months ended June 30, 2016, was primarily due to a favorable geographic mix of pre-tax income. The effective tax rates for the nine months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were 28.6% and 29.9%. The decrease in the effective tax rate during the nine months ended June 30, 2016, was primarily due to a favorable geographic mix of pre-tax income, partially offset by an increase in the reserve for unrecognized tax benefits.
